Interviewed Aug 2011 in Houston, TX (took 2 days)
If you interned in the SCMP program you get offers based off, supposedly, your performance during the summer and your final presentation.
If you don't intern and apply for the program separately, the interview process is very intense. Many 1-on-1 interviews and a couple of group interviews. You may also be asked to give a short, 10 min, presentation on any topic relating to oil field work.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The culture is the most negative culture I have witnessed.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview, a Presentation and a Drug Test.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Houston, TX (took 4 weeks)
Passed the initial interview on school site, and was invited to an on-site interview at their Houston location. Given a tour around the facilities, introduced to the R&D team, and had lunch with two members of the team. People were very friendly. I did not receive an offer, but I think it was because I did not show much enthusiasm for the position itself (was siked about the environment though).

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Fresno, TX (took 3 days)
I obtained the first interview on campus...standard behavioral questions were asked. Know your aptitudes and strengths because all they are doing is making sure that you have the characteristics to become a good field engineer. I was selected for second round interviews were the first day we had a presentation of the different PSLs. The presentation was held by two field engineers and three regional leaders. The presentation was followed by a dinner where we interacted with the representatives and this is your chance to ask all the questions you may have!
The next day consisted of a field visit where all of the equipment and tools were showcased. Next we had lunch with the regional leaders and then 1:1 interviews were held. Be honest!!! They want to know which PSL you like and why you like it...remember this job is not for everybody and this will be very clear to you by the end of the field visit!. I am waiting for an offer...fingers crossed.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Houston, TX (took 2 days)
Interview Process was exhausting. It was supposed to be one day interview but it was really 2 days of continuously monitoring of what you do, eat, and drink. Interview question were generic. Not at all hard, they were pretty much basic. I stopped caring in the middle of the process as I got my dream job offer but I would say definitely focus more on just being vocal and act like as if you are managing other interviewees. They like people who controls other people. Don't worry about your technical knowledge of Supply Chain or even Manufacturing. It doesn't matter. I am going to rate interview process difficult as I was completely exhausted by the time I got home and this was my fifth trip where I went out of town for an interview. None of them felt like this one.

Definitely not a culture fit for me. Only good thing is money and benefit.

It was a senior manager and current analyst interviewing. Essentially the Corporate Development office was looking to hire one Corporate Development Analyst to take over the current analyst. It's a 2 year contract where the analyst normally goes off to graduate school afterwards or to another job. They didn't state whether graduate school was covered by Halliburton or not. It's a 2 interview process. Initial interview at the university (they look at UT, SMU, Tulane, & Rice) and second interview at their office. They do both behavioral and technical questions in the first round of interview which lasts roughly 45 minutes. The exact job description is below:
