The coding challenge was normal and of average difficulty. The in person interview technical was also average. Problem was solved via pen and paper in person, but the interviewer was rather cranky and unhelpful.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at SLB in Sep 2021
Interview
Nice and deep conversation. You usually go through 2 short interviews. They asked about very basic questions, like where you live, how you commute, and what your availability is. One question they asked was what you think good hospitality is. You know right after if you are hired or not.

Interview
Some team members assigned lack of empathy and sometimes selfish when being attacked by evaluators. They tend to grab all credits to themselves only and will push whatever blames to others when problems arise.
Evaluators are very aggressive and will attack every member of a team with questions that are usually out-of-scope and out-of-context.
My very bad experience with the interview session is that the interviewer kept me until the very last section of the interview only to realize in the end I was not chosen/shortlisted for internship placement, wasted a lot of my time and in my opinion, if they are not interested with me in the very beginning, they can immediately disqualify me before lunch session but they did not. Not really sure what is their purpose of keeping me until the end of the session but they are not really interested to give me a thorough consideration.
