I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at SLB (New Delhi) in Sep 2016
Interview
Difficult written. it was a online test on there own platform. The test contains 8 sections to be done in 2 hours. It was having aptitude questions without MCQs, technical questions with multiple choice answers, English comprehensive questions with multiple choice answers, one coding question and one interview question asking about the recent project. The way these questions were to be answered was very unusual. You cannot skip any question nor any section though there were no negative markings. You cannot go back to previous sections or questions. There were no countdown timer so you had to kept an eye on system clock. Solving the coding question was tedious. It was an easy question and one can make maximum of 5 attempts. There was the description of the question and two source files were given one in C other in Java. We were supposed to download either of them, modify them according to our answer and then copy paste the code in a text area provided below the question. It was only telling about the compile errors after submission and no other information was visible. We didn't know that we answered it correctly or not. We were supposed to use our own IDE as there was none provided on the test. Overall the test wasn't good. It was difficult for me so I couldn't clear it.

I applied online; the interview was conducted by Karat Studio, which was a third party conducting technical interviews for SLB. The interviewer was quite friendly and explained the process pretty well.

Question 1
Asked three complexity and data structure application questions,
Graph-based LeetCode-style question, another follow-up with slightly higher difficulty. Be prepared to define classes/methods and run your own test cases.
