The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Halliburton (Casper, WY) in Sept 2011
Interview
I interviewed on campus and the interviewers were very friendly. They weren't HR and were field engineers doing the interviews. After the interview on campus I heard within a week that I had a second round interview in Brighton, CO. That interview was terribly unorganized. Several of us flew in at the same time, there was no transportation organized for us, just a suggested shuttle service to use. When we arrived at the hotel the interviewers were late and sloppy. They were eating sandwiches while giving a presentation we had already seen on campus during information sessions. After the presentation they asked us where we wanted to eat and didn't have it planned. Of course none of us knew where to go because we'd never been there.
The next morning we woke up early and went to a frac job, this was the most valuable experience of the interview. After that we went back to Halliburton's local camp for an interview, they lasted longer than expected and several people missed their flights home.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How long would it take a feather to fall from the Empire state building?
There are three days campus recruitment process. Starting from written test in day 1, FGD in day 2, and, short interview in day 3. FGD was pretty casual, you'll be given 15 minutes to discuss a case, and depends on when your turn on presenting is, 1-2 hours to solidate the case outside while waiting for presentation turn. If you pass, you'll get into user interview the next day.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Halliburton in Jun 2025
Interview
After passing the admin screening, I attended the psychometric/aptitude test at UPN “Veteran” Yogyakarta. The test was conducted entirely online on our own devices; the venue had weak mobile signal and there was no option to take the test on paper, so a lot of time was lost just connecting and loading questions.
Format & content: Mostly English verbal reasoning, plus basic math and simple mechanical/physics items (e.g., “which gear turns to the right”). One section was a long ordering/linear arrangement (positional reasoning) passage followed by five MCQs, time management was critical bcs 1 para for 5 MCQs.
It was not worth relocating and moving my family. The work and life balance not justified to survive. I do not like the cold environment in the north area. It was not worth relocating and moving my family. The work and life balance not justified to survive.
