I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Halliburton (Mumbai) in Oct 2012
Interview
Off campus: A written test with moderate level mechanical engineering and electrical questions and lately they have added aptitude as well. After 1-2 hours, I was called for interview. I was told about the result after 1 month and was given the offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Interview questions really depend upon which department you are for. For example, sperry manager may ask you the toughest of question about petroleum engineering but coiled tubing/wireline/perforating may ask you mechanical engineering problems. Managers will try to scare you off by picturing the conditions of workplace. My manager actually in a way told me that I may die on an offshore platform and asked me if i am not scared. Of course, I was scared but then accident can happen anywhere. Infact, oilfield had less death rate than a machine workshop industry. So, be prepared for such questions. Apart from this, he asked me very simple engineering products such as how does a fan work or how a hand pump sucks water from the earth. What would happen if you touch a live wire.
HR scheduled a Teams interview with my manager. It took about 30 mins and I got a verbal offer after about 2 weeks. After that, I did a few rounds of medical check-ups, which took a few weeks. Then got a contract after that was passed.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Halliburton in Jun 2022
Interview
1st round was basic resume questions and more info about the job. 2nd round was behavioral questions and lasted about an hour. It's a really easy interview if you practice.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Halliburton (Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi) in Mar 2022
Interview
They ask you about yourself
They ask you about your graduation project
They ask you about your strength and weaknesses
They ask you about a time you face a problem with your colleague in project or work and what did you to handle it
