I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SLB (Alfred, NY) in Oct 2014
Interview
The interview process was fairly extensive and seemed to successfully eliminate candidates who lacked the motivation or requirements to perform at a high level. My interview experience went as follows: Met with recruiter at career fair and submitted resume - Was invited for one-on-one interview with recruiter the following day - Was invited for second interview in Tulsa, OK which lasted 3 days and included group activity - Was offered job the week following my interview in Tulsa.
Overall, the interview experience provided a lot of information about the company, culture, and lifestyle; all of which were fairly accurate in comparison to life after taking the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Suppose you have a balance (scale) and you have five seemingly identical spheres of an unknown mass. Four of the five spheres have the same mass, while one is slightly different, but cannot be distinguished by simply feeling them. In as few trials as possible, how would you determine which of the five spheres has a different mass?
Draw me a picture and explain your thought process.
I applied online. I interviewed at SLB (Cairo, Cairo Governorate)
Interview
The process began with applying through their official website.
We received an email containing the date and location of the Aptitude test. Passing the test qualifies us for an interview with the Human Resources department.
Note: The test date and time were specified in the email for the day after we received it. To be honest, you could have postponed it if needed, and this doesn't necessarily happen to everyone, but it did, which is why I mentioned this so anyone can keep this in mind when applying.
The Aptitude test consisted of 50 questions, with a 50-minute time limit, distributed as follows:
20 questions in English
20 questions in mathematics
10 questions in intelligence. The questions ranged from easy to medium to difficult, and overall, the test was not challenging.
After completing the test, we waited for the grading process. Those who didn't pass were thanked and encouraged to reapply before leaving. Those who passed went directly to the Human Resources interview.
They asked me to prepare a presentation about myself, then there was a group interview call where we had a case study. And finally they had a one on one in the end where they ask about weaknesses, strengths etc.
