The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Halliburton (Laredo, TX) in Jul 2011
Interview
I received an email from my university saying that Halliburton was in great need of field engineers. They gave me the link to their website.
I went to interview, I was greeted by the Manager of Operations and another field engineer. They were straightforward as I was. I remember reading in one interview. "Lie, Lie , Lie" Tell them you dont mind the hours, tell them you dont mind the outdoors, tell them everything they want to hear. You will get an offer.

Question 1
How would you work with people with lower education that you?
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Halliburton (College Station, TX) in Jun 2011
Interview
Applied in February through school career services and finally received email to schedule first interview in mid April. Phone interview consisted of the same general questions you will normally be asked. Why Halliburton? Why field engineering? Describe a time when you used your technical skills to solve a problem, Describe a time where you worked on a project with ambiguity. Tell me about a good and bad decision you made in the past year.
Second interview was a 2 day interview in College Station, TX (Location was set for people interested in the Halliburton South Texas district). Only two engineers ran the whole show which started with presentations on the PSLs that had open positions (Fracing, Cementing, Coiled Tubing, Completion Tools). After the presentation they drove us to Caldwell to check out some of their labs and equipment at their district office. We were then taken out to dinner and told interviews would commence 8am the next day. The interview was a 2:1 interview and was the easiest interview I have ever experienced. I was merely asked which PSL and location I wanted and why, what i anticipated being the hardest part during my first year on the job, and will you be alright sleeping in a truck out on location , working crappy hours etc. The next day I was extended an offer through email for the 2nd PSL i picked at my first choice for location.
The engineers that interviewed us were very laid back, humorus, and easy to get along with. Everyone was asked the same interview questions.

Tell me about a good and bad decision you have made this year.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Halliburton (Carmichaels, PA) in Dec 2010
Interview
I initially had a 1-1 interview with a recruiter on campus who went ahead and scheduled me for a second interview. The initial interview with the recruiter was behavioral. I was emailed informing of my second interview (which was onsite) about 2 weeks later. The second interview which was onsite consisted a series of tours and then a panel interview which was really straightforward. Throughout the process, the interviewers stress the fact that the field engineer position is stressful and not meant for everyone. I did great in the interview but personally i didn't really like the field engineer position which i thought was quite reflective in my mien throughout the course of the interview. I never received a decision so i had to call HR who then asked me what my status was (F-1 student). I was then called back and informed that i wasn't chosen for the position.
