I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SLB (Houston, TX) in Apr 2012
Interview
It was with multiple people: one HR, one Department Supervisor and a trust Teams Lead in a comfortable room and each asked questions. It was pleasant and cordial without pressure. They all had copies of my resume which they used to asked questions. The HR person started the process with questions about myself and my history. The technical side asked questions about my knowledge and experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The normal history type questions. What were my expectations and some questions to evaluate my skill level.
It was a straight forward interview in which the manager did focus on the technical aspects of my work and previous (rather little during those days) experience. I likes because it was focused in what I know an able to do rather than talking about diplomas, certifications and degrees that -in the end- does not prove you are the perfect fit for the job
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at SLB

Had an interview with Technical manager, 2 team members, and HR. Converstation with team members was easy, discussed the system, needs and requirements.
Technical manager - asked details about experience (how to apply to the position), described position and that it may require travel (unfortunately, I am not able to travel at the moment).
