Now waiting for my BHE(Baker Hughes Experience) call.

Interview Details Applied in January. Heard nothing until I attended a RIGZONE virtual career fair in about March and chatted online with a BH rep. About two weeks later I had a phone screen, and about a month later I was invited to the Baker Hughes Experience in Houston.

The Baker Hughes Experience is fun. Don't worry about that if you like solving puzzles, presenting, doing groupwork, and stuff like that.

Now, here is the important part:

Baker did not tell us, UNTIL WE WERE IN TEXAS AT THE BH EXPERIENCE EVENT, that they were only hiring for two product lines, and that you are immediately tied to a product line upon accepting an offer into the FEDP role. You then must spend three years NOT in a rotational position living in the geographic area where you'll work, cut off from everything else. Furthermore, it is impossible to change product lines once you're in- if they assign you "Artificial Lift in Midland TX," then that means that you have to live in Midland TX and do artificial lift for your career, take it or leave it.

This is in complete opposition to what my recruiter on the phone screen told me. According to him, specialties are not assigned immediately and you rotate during the development program. This is not correct.

I was not interested in either of the two product lines that Baker Hughes decided to hire us for, and was caught very much by surprise that they would withhold this critical information until the first day of the interview.

Also at the event, Baker explained the development program. The "training" is really only a few seminar-type classes that last a couple days- doesn't seem to be very valuable or useful. Just go to YouTube and google "Hydraulic Fracturing."

The "project" in your third year as an FEDP is just a two-week period in which you think about and propose something. Seemed very mundane and looked as though Baker is trying to get credit for "being innovative, spurring though" without actually doing much.

I communicated the fact that I was not interested in either of the product lines that Baker waited to inform me they were hiring for, and, of course, did not get an offer. I think I dodged a bullet though because it did not seem to me through my experience that Baker is a high accountability, high performance organization that invests in its people and is honest and upfront.

Interview Details Baker Hughes Experience (BHE) is described in several other posts, in my particular case I was also interviewed by my managers before the BHE. It's not that the process is overly difficult, it's just very involved and you are constantly in interview mode for 2 straight days. Even the bus ride was an interview session.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation, they have set rates for JFEs

Interview Details First telephone interview took 30 minutes and involved behavioural questions. The second took 50 min and involved mainly technical. All behavioural questions you can find on glassdoor.

Interview Details I applied directly through their careers website. Got a call after a month. First it was a informal Hr round on the phone. Then they had a techincal round on the phone again. Asked about my resume and past experience. It lasted for about an hour. Not very tough though. It was good. After 3 days they made an offer.
