Had a phone interview and then called in for 2 sets of face to face interviews. First interview was with the manager and lead engineer. The second interview was with the manager's boss but nothing intimidating. Good people.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was something you failed at when at your last job and how did you overcome it?
I applied on line and got interview invitation within 2 days. during the interview, all technical questions. No behavior questions. Foundamental knowledge is highly emphasised. So be prepared for these questions.
As a fresh graduate, they might ask you on a design project you have done, and or other work experience that might have involved design projects. This would help if you are applying for the mech engineer associate role.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Halliburton in Apr 2023
Interview
Initial virtual interview went well with direct hiring manager and leads- very casual and laid back. Got set up for an in person a couple weeks after with broader team. There was one guy who went on a power trip to finish my sentences and assume why I was switching career paths and challenging everything I was saying in a rather impolite way. Everybody else seemed okay but very quiet and not too friendly - just extra bodies in the room I suppose. I also would like to mention the lack of diversity and lack of overall workplace spirit I saw throughout.
Reached out for some clarity on next steps/timeline and got no response until an automated email a couple weeks after saying I wasn’t chosen for the position. Overall very stark contrast when compared to other companies in similar industries even when not receiving an offer.
