Interviewed Oct 2011 in Alice, TX (took a day)
Halliburton usually does two interview, is a pretty good company. The salary is the best part, however you have to work long hours and sometimes in extreme weather, it also offers the possibility to move up in the company pretty fast

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Casper, WY (took 3 days)
I applied for the position through career services at my school, went to an information session held by two Halliburton recruiters, and had a 1-1 interview the following day. The interview was IMO a bit more intense than a similar interview with Schlumberger. He asked a long list of personality/behavior type questions.
I was contacted about a week later and asked to fill out some additional information including criminal background, driving record, and position/location preferences. Then a couple weeks later I was contacted by the Casper, WY Sperry Drilling office asking if I would like to fly out for a two-day interview. I accepted and about a week before the interview I was again contacted with flight information. The trip out consisted of meeting the other applicants and the regional manager over dinner before heading back to the hotel for the night. In the morning, we were shuttled (almost 2 dozen of us total) to the Sperry facility, fed breakfast, given a presentation, a short tour of the facility, lunch, and then we went in for 1-on-3 interviews with their engineers. The interview was much more relaxed than the first. I felt that it was more about them seeing if I fit in and if I could handle the job and less about how intelligent or capable of an engineer I was. Unfortunately, I think it all came down to the question when they asked me how bad I wanted to work for Halliburton on a scale of 1-10 and I was mistakenly brutally honest with them.
I think I wanted to position about as bad as most of the other guys. I just think they were more willing to lie in order to get an offer. It would be a decent entry-level job if your willing to put up with being away from home 10 months out of the year working in pretty miserable positions for a fat paycheck. There are pros and cons to that type of work but I think the cons won out for me at this point in my life.

Interviewed Apr 2012 (took 2 days)
I got the first round interview by applying online through my career center website at school. There was an info session at school with a following interview the next day. It was all pretty laid back, the guy interviewing me was a field engineer who worked a few hours away and was very informative and willing to answer any questions i had about the job. He asked general questions about how well you are with working with people, high pressure sitiuations, dealing with unhappy customers, etc.
Second interview consist of traveling out of city, in my case also out of state to a central location in one of the regions the company works in. You will be there with about 8 or 9 other potential employees from aaround the country.They have another info session that is a little more detailed then you meet with more engineers from the company to go to dinner. The engineers are all really nice people and are pretty fun to talk with. All the engineers have been through all of what your doing and have done it rather recently so they are very informative and easy going. Second day you are up very early to meet for breakfast and to the office location for safety briefing to go visit a field location to observe and learn about the job they are doing at the time. Pay very close attention to everything they tell you about. They will ask detailed questions later so it helps to know what there asking. After the job visit you go to lunch and then back to the office to learn about what all they do there. After they will interview you all again asking you more situational and behavioral questions as well as detailed questions about the day along with a little brain teaser at the end. After all is said and done they say they will get back to you in about a week or two.
All in all it was a fun and interesting experience but also very exhausting I think we were all up for about 15 hours that day.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 2 months)
I got the interview through my school. Hence, I had first interview on campus; which is 1-on-1. I got a mail 2 4 days later asking me to choose which location and psl I will like to work. I didn't hear from the human resource person until about a month later inviting for the second interview, a two-day interview, in college station. The caldwell interview was more like a formality; we had presentation in the morning telling us what frac, cementing and coil tubing. Then we went to see the caldwell yard and had an exiting interview on getting back to college station.

Very simple process, 1:1 interview on campus, then they flew me out to Bakersfield and showed a group of potential hires around for the day. There was a time of another 1:1 interview, only about 20 minutes, then that was it. The offer came about 1.5 weeks later.
