      PetroTechnical Engineer/Geologist Interview

      Feb 11, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Austin, TX
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at SLB (Austin, TX) in Oct 2012

      Interview

      I applied through the career services at my university. A month later I was emailed about being chosen for an on-campus interview. Prior to the interview, there was an info-session scheduled on my school campus, during which attendees could ask questions, but the Schlumberger representatives, including the woman who would be conducting my interview, showed up and started the session an hour and a half earlier than the official time they were scheduled to start, so I didn't arrive until the session was almost over. They apologized for mixing up their own times, but I lost a good opportunity to ask questions prior to the interview. At the start of interview (described in more detail below), the interviewer was surprised that I was not a current graduate student at the school where the interview took place (I was actually a grad student at another school, but submitted my application through the career services at my undergraduate institution, where I had already graduated from). My resume and application documents should have made it clear where I went to school, so I'm guessing they didn't really review those documents. After the interview I never got any response from them. I did not find out that I was declined until I manually logged into their career site months later to see that my application was listed as "declined." This was not the first time I got some "mysterious" results from Schlumberger recruiters either. A year earlier I also applied through my university and was scheduled for an interview, but the time conflicted with one of my university classes, so I requested a different time and the recruiter said he'd call me for a phone interview, but when I didn't get the call, I emailed and called him several times over the next couple weeks to remind him, to which he actually replied at first that yeah, he'll call me for the phone interview, he'll get to it, but he never called and I never found out why. Again, I did not find out that my application was declined until I manually logged into their career site months later to see that my application was listed as "declined."

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The interview was just primarily a series of standard personality/behavior questions, such as describe a challenge you overcame (the example they gave was fixing a flat tire), or describe a time you were innovative, (the same quetions you've heard over and over in interviews), etc. But they also tried to catch me off-guard with a couple of "tricky" questions, such as showing me two clocks telling me to describe how much time may have passed.
