Schlumberger Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Interviewed with two peers and the manager after an initial phone screen that took place about two weeks earlier. Brought portfolio of samples for the face-to-face interviews. Nothing was completely unexpected about the process compared to my other interviewing experiences. Overall, this was a good experience.

Negotiation Details – I negotiated with a contracting agency. After finding out what the going rate was, I asked for a bit more and proceeded from there until we came to an agreement. Knowing what the going rate is can be very helpful.

Interview Details – I have only had a phone interview as of now. Questions were all behavioral and HR related. The recruiter was very friendly. I did get the second interview which will be in a few days.I have heard they like to keep you awake very late, have group presentations, assignments and ice breakers.

Interview Details – The first interview was a simple phone behavioral interview. The were no technical questions. The interview is very short so be sure to ask a lot of question and seem interested.

I got an offer to attend a second round in OKC a couple weeks later.

The first day of the interview lasts long into the night. The present on a variety of subjects on the company followed by presentations by us that they assigned about a week before. You will be presenting with a partner that you have never met so be sure to communicate before you fly out to the Interview site. They also have us take part in a fun team building exercise. They had us build a series of towers with pencils, paper, paperclips, and other random office material. We then had to launch a plastic frog from tower to tower.

The next day you wake up early in the morning and visit some well sites. Chug some coffe in the morning. It will be a long day and they are looking for people who are awake, active, and interest in what they are showing us. The only time we were actually "Interviewed" was a 10 min exit interview at the end of the day. You need to be prepared in saying which segment you are interested in joining and why. The interviewers then treat everyone to good food and and alcohol.

The whole process felt more like I was "rushing" for the company rather than interviewing for it. Overall, it was a lot of fun.

Also, if you tell them that you are prepared to work anywhere overseas, actually be prepared to work anywhere because they WILL send you anywhere.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation

Interview Details – They have a two part interview process for new graduate hires. The first part is screening interview either on campus or by phone. For the second part, you are flown out to one of their hiring locations for an all day interview.

Interview Details – I don't know how they got my resume, perhaps from a job board where I had posted it. They emailed me out of the blue and asked for a phone interview. After the phone interview I was offered a second interview at their office in Texas, which involved a presentation. I declined the second interview, as I was not willing to relocate. The interview was a combination of personal and technical questions.

Interview Details – I think it is very important to drop what you are doing the day before and get a good night's rest. You need to act like you are 100% rested the entire time. Our interview went as follows: arrive at hotel, dinner and presentation about schlumberger, questions, group presentation, questions, sclumberger presentation, questions, group presentation etc until all of the presentations are finished. Then there was an engineering group challenge. Then there were some closing remarks and then dismissed at about 2:30AM. Next day involved a site tour of the facilities and the rigs. Also featured a discussion with current employees without the recriter present. After the day is finished, arrive at hotel and exit interviews, and dinner.

Interview Details – Had an info session on campus. Next day 30 minute interview was very straight forward.
- what do you know about this company
- other basic behavioral questions
Heard back a few days later and was told they wanted to fly me down to Texas.
- toured around a well site
- Paper tower building activity
- 5 minute presentation on a topic given prior to the event
- 1 on 1 interview

Just heard from another woman in REMS wanting a phone interview. We'll see how that goes...

Interview Details – I was initially interviewed twice over the phone by their recruiting company, and that same day (both phone interviews were conducted one after the other) I was informed that they wanted to send me to an on-site interview. The on-site interview was one of the best experiences I have ever had, and was much different than any other interview I had been on. All of the recruiters and other interviewers were extremely friendly and laid back, so the experience was not stressful at all. I enjoyed every moment of my time on the interview, which involved team building and several presentations.

Negotiation Details – They have set salaries per sector so there is no negotiation.

Interview Details – 1st round on campus; 2nd round in Houston, TX. Presentation, lunch and then 3 hr interview with 4 interviewer
