Interviewed Feb 2012 in Houston, TX (took 2 days)
The interview was long. We were given no itinerary. First we had to draw a picture and tell about our selves. Hiring managers were behind making notes as you spoke. Then a lot of information. Had all meals with different hiring managers. We had about 35 people and was very hard to communicate with managers. At the end of the night, they wanted us to give another presentation about "what we learned" the next morning at 7 am. we only had about 2.5 hours to sleep that night.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in San Antonio, TX (took a day)
Turned in application the end of December 2011. I got a call two weeks latter to come in and interview. Interviewed in front of a panel of four. Common interview questions. Why the carrer change? 10 year plan?
They were very professional and wanted to make sure I understood the difficulty of this job.
Got a call a day or so latter and was offered the position.
Recieved a call from HR two weeks latter informing me that my offer letter and hiring packet would be sent within a week.
Company seems to be moving fast and need qualified people that understand the lifestyle of the oil field buisness. Military and computer experiance a plus.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 2 days)
The group interview began at 7am sharp the first day, consisted of presentations, tours, and aptitude tests. There was a lot of opportunity to talk to the hiring managers, which is important to do. They have you prepare a presentation for day 2 and then have a panel interview. Safety is very important to the company. They had us read a case study, and submit ideas on how the situation could have been handled. The managers are all pretty nice and approachable.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Houston, TX (took 2 weeks)
My experience started with 9 months of applying to different positions. I have a degree in Civil Engineering and applied to everything under the sun. Eventually a friend of mine who already works at Baker spoke with a co-worker and found out that there was a position opening up and spoke with the manager about me. My friend sent my resume to the manager and he was impressed. He asked me to apply on the HR site and forced the HR recruiters to give me a phone interview. I got a phone interview about a week and a half after speaking with the manager. I was contacted by BHI's recruiters a week later. BHI flew me out to Houston for a 1:1 interview with the hiring manager on a Friday. I received a call from the manager the next Monday with an offer.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took a day)
After applying online for the position got an email to complete an online assessment and subsequently after the assessment got another email to schedule a time and date for the phone interview.
Interviewer called a day before the day I scheduled for some reasons so decided to go with it though should probably stood my ground on waiting till the scheduled date so I can be better prepared.
Questions were essentially same as previously given by others
- Favorite course in college with reasons
- Conflict with a partner and how it was resolved
- My view and expectations for the position I applied for
- Solution I have at some point proffered to a technical problem
For some reasons same person called on the scheduled date but I made her realize we spoke a day earlier!!

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 days)
Made it through the first 30 minute interview to the second round which is the Baker Hughes Experience. Baker Hughes experience was very stressful. You give 2 presentations (a personal one and one on a mock case study with your group). Branch managers are around the entire time watching you and taking notes.
