Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SLB (Midland, TX) in Mar 2016
Interview
First Round: standard behavioral interview. make sure you know about the company and the position, have several stories to tell, why are you a good fit for the position etc.
Second Round: flew down to Midland, TX with around 25 interviewees in the group that weekend
The first night we flew in and stayed up until 4 AM. I gave a presentation (on an assigned business segment of SLB). We were listening to presentations by other interviewees and the recruiters about the different segments of Schlumberger and the field engineer lifestlye/work. We also did a group activity where we had to build (using a balloon, rubber bands, paper, a cup and tape) something that would get a ping pong ball into a hard hat 5 feet away. Our group had the original idea of building a ramp to roll the ball into the hat (every other team built a slingshot). No group actually got the ball into the hat haha, maybe the challenge was too hard!
The next day, we woke up early around 7 AM. We drove 2 hours to a hydraulic fracturing job site. The job site was run by Matador with several oil services companies including Schlumberger helping out. We toured the site, saw all the equipment, and talked to different engineers. We saw a perforation by the cased-hole wireline team and also the beginning of the frac. The interview ended with a short exit interview where they asked me about which SLB business segment I preferred and why.

1st round interview included short technical question, and telling about myself and the projects I worked on.
Not difficult/or hard, but just need to explain well enough to tell the logic process
It was an on campus hiring. First they shortlisted based on CV. Then second round was group discussion where we were given abstract topics like "Half filled glass of water" and were asked to discuss. This was also an eliminatory round. The final round was more of a HR round, they asked behavioural questions, few puzzles (very easy) and general knowledge questions
