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 Question – The interviewer asked how I felt about the fact that they are an oil drilling company, which is a rather controversial topic. I think it was to determine how likely I was to accept the job if offered. View Answer

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 Question – No unexpected questions. They will ask questions that you don't know about your presentation, but they aren't impossible to answer or give a reasoned approach to an answer. Answer Question

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.

Interview Details – I spoke to a Schlumberger employee at a career fair. Two weeks later I received an e-mail requesting a phone interview. From my understanding this is not typical; most candidates interview in person first. At the conclusion of the phone interview I was asked if I would like to fly down to Midland, TX for a second interview.
Interview Question – You better prepare well for your second interview. The first night we started at 5pm and went till 2:30am discussing the job, listening to current employees and then presenting presentations that we had to make with other candidates from other schools. The presentations lasted for about 3 hours and the questions were endless. Grant it there were 25 people there to answer them, however everyone tried to be vocal. Answer Question
