I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at SLB (Fort Worth, TX) in Apr 2010
Interview
A couple weeks before the interview they grouped all the interviewees into small groups of about 3 or 4 and assigned us a topic about something the company does. Then we had to work with out group to prepare a presentation about that topic.
The company flew 14 of us out to Texas for a 2 night stay. Pretty much the whole weekend was a group interview. The first night was introductions, dinner, and our presentations. There were also a couple silly little games meant to be ice breakers. The second day was tours of various job sites in the area. Lunch was provided at Subway. When we got back to the hotel mid-afternoon, we all hung out by the pool while they called us in one by one for individual interviews. The interview wasn't very long and I didn't feel I got to say or ask everything I wanted to. Dinner was provided at The Cheesecake Factory. The next morning everyone flew home.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I wasn't expecting the group interview environment. I'm an introvert so my personality didn't really shine through as much as the extroverts' personalities did.
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
