I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at SLB (Houston, TX) in Jan 2013
Interview
1st interview- normal
2nd interview- designed to see how you handle stress and if you are a leader. The job is very stressful- things always go wrong and you have to trouble shoot issues with the client breathing down your neck- so they need to see who can handle stress.

Question 1
In front of a group- tell about a MacGyver moment. Also- group project where you make some contraption out of random materials. They do not give you all the information you need and continually mix the groups up and yell at you to hurry hurry hurry! They want to see who emerges as a leader and who is overwhelmed.
1st round interview included short technical question, and telling about myself and the projects I worked on.
Not difficult/or hard, but just need to explain well enough to tell the logic process
It was an on campus hiring. First they shortlisted based on CV. Then second round was group discussion where we were given abstract topics like "Half filled glass of water" and were asked to discuss. This was also an eliminatory round. The final round was more of a HR round, they asked behavioural questions, few puzzles (very easy) and general knowledge questions
