I applied through college or university. I interviewed at SLB (Houston, TX) in Jan 2016
Interview
I submitted the resume through the campus career fair. There are totally three rounds of interviews:
1st round: campus hr screening
2nd round: on-campus face to face tech and behavioral interview
on-site: 4-round interviews plus a technical presentation
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behavioral questions: what's the biggest challenge you ever have? How do you resolve the conflict with other people? How to cooperate with people from different backgrounds.
On-site: I was given a mechanical drawing showing a drilling tool. I was asked to identify what part is which and what is going wrong with the design. The interviewer also pointed out there is something going wrong with the sealing and asked to provide some recommendations of how to fix it.
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at SLB (Pune) in Sep 2018

Question 1
What does the Stress-Strain curve for brittle materials look like? (whiteboard)
Daunting and lengthy.
Took over a month just to get the results of the on-site. Not to mention, super un-responsive and poor interview process. Process moved pretty quick from HR to on-site, however the rest of the process was very slow.
