The process took 2 days. I interviewed at SLB in Dec 2009
Interview
I had an initial interview with Schlumberger on campus at our career center. After a few weeks I was told that I has been selected for a secondary interview. They instructed us to prepare a presentation about a given Schlumberger market segment. About a month later they flew me out to one of their locations for the second interview. The agenda stated at 7pm. There were about 20 candidates and 2 recruiters. We all sat in a conference room and listened to presentations about the company, the various disciplines of Field Engineers, benefits and "Field Engineer lifestyle". The recruiters made it clear that we would be expected to work about 80 hours a week average and that this could vary wildly. They demonstrated this by taking far too long with the presentations before asking us to give our own presentations. By the time everyone was done it was 230am. We were then instructed to be ready to leave at 730 the next morning to go out to an oil rig and local service center. This part of the interview was interesting and informative. We were able to see what the position would entail and speak to engineers in the positions we were applying for. The recruiters took us out to dinner that night before scheduling quick exit interviews. Unfortunatly, the recruiter I spoke with was still intoxicated from the wine he had with dinner. Thankfully, by this time I had come to the realization that this was not the job for me.

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
