Know what it looks for.

ConocoPhillips is the world's largest pure-play independent oil and gas exploration and production company, producing roughly 2.3 million barrels of oil equivalent per day across the U.S. Lower 48, Alaska, Canada, Norway, Qatar, Australia and Asia. Following the $22.5 billion Marathon Oil acquisition in November 2024, ConocoPhillips is what CEO Ryan Lance calls a "superindependent" — combining the scale and balance sheet of a major with the focused upstream agility of an independent. ConocoPhillips behavioral interviews are STAR-driven and explicitly built around the SPIRIT values (Safety, People, Integrity, Responsibility, Innovation, Teamwork), with safety questions appearing in nearly every panel and the "Triple Mandate" strategic framework guiding the company's returns-focused, low-cost-of-supply discipline.
