Interviewed Apr 2010 in Houston, TX (took 3 weeks)
I was approached by a person from HR and the day of the interview I talked to to 3 people that asked me many questions related to my previous experience. Mostly it was a dialogue related to supply chain/sourcing.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Houston, TX (took 2 days)
I got an e-mail stating that I was selected for a phone interview. An interview time was adjusted after a series of e-mail exchanges. Questions were very basic and most of them were HR related and are based on resume. I guess the recruiter is checking for the level of confidence. I was asked to wait for 2 weeks for the next step.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Sugar Land, TX (took a day)
I only had to go through one interview, which was not technical. The kind of questions I was asked were general, like "Do you enjoy working in a team or by yourself?", "Give an example of a situation in which you were creative.", "When does the school year end and when would you be available to start?", etc.
I felt like the interviewer was taking notes of what I was saying, which seemed kind of awkward.

Interviewed Apr 2008 in Houston, TX (took a day)
Initial communication with the company was through my University, where a recruiter visited during a career fair, and performed several preliminary interviews, organized through the career services of the college. About three weeks after the preliminary interviews, the recruiter invited me to travel to Houston and visit the main office for a full interview by local managers and HR people. This full interview was a full day scheduled with presentations on the company's history, current profile, job benefits, and the positions in question. Other applicants ranged from Mathematics undergrads to people graduating with Masters in Geophysics.
The actual one-on-one interview was with a team manager, and a project manager, it lasted about 45 minutes, and they largely coaxed me into engaging in the kind of dialogue that they wanted, otherwise I might not have been as successful. They asked a wide range of typical questions, went through my resume a little bit, and tried to encourage me to ask questions about the company.

Negotiation Details
My impression is that new-hire salaries are set in stone, based on when you were hired and whether or not you have a Masters degree. Oddly, six months after I had accepted the offer, but before I had actually graduated and started the job, I got an updated offer letter indicating that my offer had been increased, without any negotiation on my part.

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Houston, TX (took a day)
My interview started with a presentation to a group of people from at three departments as they are interested in my expertise. Then it's a 1:1 interview and discussion with these personnel. Overall, it was quite positive for me because I could know more about this company.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Houston, TX (took a day)
The interview was completely non-technical. The objective was to evaluate personality traits, such as ability to handle stress, work in a multi-cultural society and tough field environment. The conversation is largely vague and conventional behavioral questions are asked. It helps to prepare for the interview by thinking of illustration of personality traits associated to the resume. It helps have a detailed resume and it isn't uncommon for the interviewer to walk-through the entire resume and experience.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Sugar Land, TX (took 2 days)
I first submitted my resume to them over the internet. About a month or so later I got a call from a recruiter asking when a good time for a phone interview would be. At the assigned time, he called and we talked for close to an hour. It mostly consisted of asking some backround and logic questions. They also ask one "Logical Thinking" question which was "Why is a manhole cover round?" The point of this question is to see your thought process.
At the end of the phone interview they either put you up for a second interview or not. For the second interview, which includes an assignment, they fly you down for free to Texas and put you in a Comfort Suites Hotel in Sugar Land about 15 minutes or so from the Schlumberger Facility. The first day you fly down and finally arrive in Houston Intl Airport, there is a ride waiting for you, if not, they give you a number to call. After getting in your ride, which isn't just a taxi, its a nice limo, they drive you to the hotel in Sugar Land which is close to an hour away.
After you arrive, you check in and do whatever you want for the rest of the night. The next morning you meet downstairs for breakfast and then start your presentation at 8AM. You go through the presentation which is about the beginnings and what they do. It's here where you turn in your homework assignment. At around 1PM after lunch they bus you out to the main facility where you get to tour the place and see the testing facility which has an operational drilling rig on it.
That night they bus you to Dave and Busters for a night of fun and drinking which is really supposed to be used to talk to the managers they have there, which all belong to the specific job your trying to get.
The third day is when the interview is. They assign you a time for the interview and the same managers you were drinking with the night before are the same ones that interview you, which makes for a really relaxed and un-puckered enviroment. They ask you some general questions like where you will be in 5 years, whats your motovation, what skills do you bring with you, etc.
They tell you at the presentation before your interview that you will know within 10-14 at the latest in wheter you got the job or not in an email, but I was actually called the next morning from the lead recruiter that I was identified as an "Ideal Canidate" and would be recieving my offer in 2 to 4 days,
The biggest thing they really want is to see you as you are, not the fakeness that usually ensues when someone is at an interview, thats the whole idea behind Dave and Busters.
