The process took 2 days. I interviewed at SLB (Midland, TX) in Oct 2011
Interview
The first day we arrived on location we were responsible for creating a presentation on one of the field services SLB provides. The recruiters asked very tough questions and were very hard on the presentations. They also kept us awake until 2 am going over the services, lifestyle, compensation and benefits when we had to be awake and ready to go to the rig at 7 the next morning. The rig visit was very interesting. We got to go out to a site and watch both a frac and a wireline job and meet with some of the engineers and operators onsite. Most of the personnel seemed to be very tired and unhappy with their job. After the visit to the site we returned to the hotel and gave a presentation on ourselves (Do we think SLB is a good fit for us, Pros/Cons of SLB, which location we would prefer and why, etc) and then we had a short (~5 minute) interview 2:1 with both recruiters. The exit interview was basically a chance to ask last minute questions for us and the recruiters. Finally they took us to dinner in downtown Midland at a really nice restaurant then we returned to the hotel.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you think your biggest challenge would be while working for SLB?
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
