The process took 1 day. I interviewed at SLB in Nov 2010
Interview
My interview process was the following way:
1.- Resume: Straight forward questions, they got deep into details of my resume and was a smooth conversation
2.- Behavioral questions
3.- Opportunity to ask questions
4.- Brain teaser: why manholes are round?
Looking back I can say that it was an nice experience overall.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SLB (Houston, TX) in Apr 2014
Interview
The first interview was a video call. It went for as long as an hour. It was very smooth and easy. A LOT of questions were asked and a lot was discussed. The recruiter who seemed very curt through emails was not curt actually, it was only the style in email communication.
Video call:
Even though I was told it is a behavioral interview, it ended up being technical too. I was asked a lot of questions on my courses too. I didn't mind it, since I knew everything from my coursework. In 2-3 days I got the email for a round 2 interview, which will be in person with the managers.
In-person interview:
They flew me to the office to interview. This interview was only 15 mins long (seemed like a lot of money spent for 15 minutes interview)! The manager was really cool and it was a fun discussion. It seemed like they had already made up their mind during the first interview and they only wanted to see me in person.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions were easy. Nothing was unexpected. There were questions like:
Situational questions (something similar to STAR approach).
Then questions about suppliers, the selection process, supplier performance evaluation.
The only one question I could not answer and should have been able to:
What areas in you require improvement?
(Basically they were asking what are your negativities that can be improved)
