Interviewed Jan 2012 in Houston, TX (took 3 days)
First, I had a 1:1 interview at my school with a recruiter I had met at a career fair on campus. A few weeks later, I got a phone call saying I had "passed" the first round and was invited to the Baker Hughes Experience (BHE) in Houston, Texas. I went in January 2012. It was a grueling mix of group work, hands-on mini tests, and listening/learning about what a career at Baker Hughes means. We were encouraged to talk to all the current Baker Hughes employees about their product line and their experience with the company. Overall, the entire 1.5 days was exhausting and extremely interesting. They gave us a chance on the last day to leave if we felt the company wasn't a good fit and that's what I ended up doing.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Houston, TX (took 2 days)
In one word: Thorough. I thought that BH went the extra mile in presenting themselves to us. I am so thankful to have been able to be a part of this Baker Hughes Experience. At Baker Hughes, you can expect to be given an opportunity to do much, and demanded to do much in return. They do a wonderful job in making the recruitment process as personal as possible, and that definitely shows the commitment they have in their future employees.
Basically they put us through various cases of real-life situations. As a group we had to work through a case study and propose a solution to a very difficult situation. They gave a thorough description of the career path they make available to their new hires.
Overall, very pleased with this experience.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Bryan, TX (took 2 days)
Attended Career fair at university, had 1-1 interview at career services..then they said they would forward all the information to Houston HQ. received an email in 3 days asking me to attend Baker Hughes Experience in houston..Their agency book the tickets for us when u call and give them the information.. We stayed at a very nice hotel-Sheraton...We reached on wednesday evening and had a social and dinner. various product line managers and staffing agents are there..,.You are very encouraged to speak to all of them in various available opportunities and learn regarding the products and our role as field engineers. They hire all engineers as field engineers only because we get to learn and have hands-on-experience b4 we further move on.,.,...I really liked the concept..there will be 3 year LEAD program where you have to complete it in 3 years with each year having required training classes and hands-on experience is required..
Thursday morning, we meet arnd 6.30am and introduce ourselves to everyone n vice versa..we then went to baker atlas wireline and saw the wireline facility and ,met a couple of FE's there. later we go to the education centre and have lunch and then learn about the products from various managers -power point presentations. Then we perform some viscosity tests after a demo(v r supplied manuals) and detach and attach a machine...
later we go to hotel and do a 25 minute case study in group and express our views and have the question-answer for 5 minutes. later we go to dinner and after that, we are given some questions and are needed to creative in answering those questions. this is in team and they look more for creativity and new ideas than regular ppt. we worked till 2am and then met around 5.30 am to revise...this is a good assessment since it also gives us an idea what it would be like on-call as FE's...they also give us the locations and positions available. we have to give our choice from 1-3 and also select our priority --if location or position is
important to us.
v used some pictures for ppt and made it like discussion. other teams did very well than us...then we again have the question & answer for 5-10 minutes. We have to speak and be very active ball the time..they try to check the weakest link all the time...then we get a break for 1-1.5 hrs...we all checked out and then we all have panel interviews....all candidates sit lined up in front of all product managers. the product managers interested will ask us questions..an candidate will averagely answer 1-3 questions. these are mostly behavioral questions. then we break for lunch and have 1.5 hr break.,.. then if selected , we will be given offers and the Hr stuff like benefits, etc there itself.
I would strongly recommend to check the information about field engineers position and then apply. this is not a regular 8-5 job. U are on call on saturday and sunday. U have to go to site at any time u get a call...there may be trainings for 2-6 months depending on the product line. They do spend a lot on us even for the BHE..So think of all aspects and then decide.
21 of us went and 18 got hired as FE's...I had a great experience ....I have been hired and waiting for the offer letter .... I am 99% positive of joining BH after graduating in December 2011.

Reason for Declining
During the training program you are on call at all times. The compensation for the amount of time put in was difficult to justify.
