Interviewed Jul 2010 in Austin, TX (took a day)
Sent my resume in through their career site. After about 5 hours, I received a email from a recruiter offering to give me a 30 minute phone interview. During the phone interview, he asked basic behavioral questions. Near the end of the interview he explained in detail about the REMS division and the training programs the company offers to new grads.

Interviewed Oct 2008 in Houston, TX (took 2 weeks)
The initial interview consisted of a one on one meeting with one of the senior engineers at the company. There was a general discussion of what the company did and what I should expect to see if I came to work for them. I was able to ask specific questions and those were answered in fairly great detail. Followng that interview I was invited back for a more detailed interview at the campus I would be working at. When I arrived I was brought to a room and asked to wait there. My first interview here was conducted with an HR rep. Typical questions were posed and answered. Following that I was asked to wait again while the other interviewers were located. As it turned out there was some confusion as to who was interviewing me which resulted in some longer than normal waiting. Once everything was sorted out I was interviewed on a one on one basis by three senior managers. Each asked questions about my back ground and education. One manager did pose a difficult question about how I would design something which caught me off guard and flustered me a little. Following these interviews I went to lunch with the one of the sernior manager and the Senior engineer. Following that I received a tour of the campus and that concluded the interview.

Interviewed Oct 2007 in Houston, TX (took 2 days)
The interview process began with a phone interview to review my background and tell me a little more about the company. Then they flew me down to Houston for a daylong interview process. The day began with a 30 minute presentation of my choice about any technical topic. Approximately 10 managers attended the presentation and we had a good 45 minute question and answer session after the presentation. The rest of the day consisted of one on one interviews with the managers that had attended the presentation.
This interview was for employment at a SLB R&D center which is very different from the Field positions. The culture in the R&D centers is very laid back, casual dress code. Remember this is a company staffed top to bottom with engineers, they value technical competence above all else. The work culture is laid back as well, depending on the manager you get almost complete freedom to come and go as you please. Getting the job done well is the only priority.
