Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
I applied to Schlumburger through spring career fair and got a call for REMS position after a week. The interview was a one on one face interview in the campus. The person who interviewed me was from a more programming background. The interview started with a discussion of the projects in the resume. Later on, the interviewer asked about my particular role in the projects and circumstances where I had made use of C /C++ extensively. The interviewer was very much interested about my undergrad thesis and spent majority of the time asking more about it. This continues for some 20 minutes. Then she gave me a programming question to do; it is based on reversing the linked list using recursive function. I kind of answered the logic but couldn't code it properly. Later she asked a simple logic puzzle; which was really really simple and then shook hands. The interview duration was 35 minutes. In short, I gave a clear picture of my background and how I could be useful for the company. The reason for the reject was that offering a position wouldn't help both the company and myself. I think, they required some Industrial or Mechanical Engineering background; where in I was an EE. But never mind; if you have an interest in management skills and are good at that you can give an honest try.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Sugar Land, TX (took 2 months)
My background is ECE. I first found about the REMS opportunity during Cornell Career Fair in September of 2011. I talked to a recruiter at the time. Got a pretty good idea of what the job is like. Applied online for the REMS position right away and then I heard back a month later in mid-October. I had an on-campus 30 minute interview 1:1. There was a presentation the night before. I passed that round and I was invited to Sugar Land, TX in the end of November just before Thanksgiving. There we had a 7 minute presentation and 3 1:1 interviews.I was told I am going to hear back in 2,3 weeks. In fact I heard back in less than a week. The offer was very competitive and I went for it.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Houston, TX (took a day)
I had this on campus interview on March. It was very nice and comfortable experience. There are several questions about my resume and some behavior question. Nothing special. There was an information session offered the night before the on campus interview that was very useful and provided a lot of background information on the company and the job. Currently I am scheduled for an on site interview at Houston.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Sugar Land, TX (took a day)
I had an on campus interview that consisted of a few behavioral questions. The interview was pretty straight forward and included pretty basic behavior questions. I got a call two weeks later about setting up an on-site interview. They flew me down to Houston to check out the REMS center in Sugar Land, TX. This consisted of a dinner the night before and then 3 interviews and a presentation. The presentation was only 7 minutes about any sort of project I had worked on. The interviews were not too difficult, it felt more like the interviewers were just trying to get to know me.
