Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
I received a call from one of the recruiters to schedule an interview after meeting them at a campus career fair. The interview was pretty relaxed and were mostly looking for people who really like the outdoors and don't mind the physical aspect of the job. It was all behavioral questions.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 2 months)
I was first contacted by a recruiter who had seen my resume online. After having a phone interview with the recruiter, he passed my name on to an internal recruiter within Schlumberger. After a second phone interview, I was invited to a group interview. They paid for a plane ticket to Shreveport, LA.
The group interview consisted of about 10 people. We were given presentation topics and partners a week in advance. At the interview, we first had a brief introduction to the company by two recruiters. Then everyone did their presentations, and there was a team activity. The recruiters then went into depth about the job. We did a teambuilding activity (build a catapult out of random stuff), and then we were sent to bed.
The next morning, we got on a bus/van thing and drove out to the field site (they provided hard hats, coveralls, boots, goggles, and ear plugs). We first visited an office area and talked to some engineers who showed us some of the equipment. All of the candidates were put in a room with the engineers without the recruiters to ask whatever questions we like without worrying about how they'd sound.
After that, we visited a site where they were actually fracking, and we walked around and saw what was happening, and met some of the engineers in the trailer. That evening the recruiters took everyone out to dinner, and then some people went to a couple of different bars with some of the engineers we met earlier after that. Overall, the interview was relaxed and was definitely geared towards just figuring out if the position was the right fit for you.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 4+ weeks)
The company is prepared to take anyone with a decent technical background. Most interesting is how much time they spend ensuring that candidates are aware of how difficult the working conditions are. The work culture is not that fostering but if you are prepared to make your own way and demand your entitlements you will be rewarded.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Davis, CA (took 4 days)
Pretty interesting interview. Basic questions from the 1:1 interview such as judging what kind of response you would have to a difficult situation, and some strange mathematical questions as well. overall, pretty simple. The only problem I have about this interviewing process is that they fly you out into a grueling several day long interview, which is just a preview of things to come

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Colorado Springs, CO (took a day)
It was not unlike any other interview. They asked about my past and what I could bring to the table. They were looking for someone who is quick on their feet and able to take on tough situations.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 3 days)
Started with a 1 on 1 interview on campus and then received an email about 2 weeks later that I had been invited to a second round interview. The second round interview lasted about 2 full (and very long) days. The interviewed started with dinner the day of arrival. A brief overview of the company was given followed by presentations by the other interviewees. Each interviewee had to present on an aspect of the company. We stayed up very late and the next day had to be up by 7:30. We visited an actual job site (oil rig) the next day. The interview concluded with a 1 on 1 very informal interview, in which questions about job preference, location, etc were asked. Overall, very casual experience.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Tulsa, OK (took a day)
After applying online through my university's website and then again on the company's official website, I attended an information session that was hosted by a Schlumberger recruiter. Having already applied, I had an interview set up at this point. Two days after the info session, I attended the interview and was greeted by the same recruiter from the info session. It was a great interview - we discussed why I wanted to intern for the company and whether it was the right thing for me. Shortly thereafter, I was a offered a field camp position at Oklahoma on the spot. The interviewer was quite fun to talk to and welcomed any comments and questions I had for them. It was the best interview I've ever had the joy of experiencing.
