SLB Technician Interview Questions
& Process

So I applied online, then there was a screening. The big step was a QCM test with math, physics, logic, and English questions. They wanted to see if we could solve problems and understood the tech stuff, not just memorize. It was all pretty organized and clear.

Me postulé cuando vinieron a reclutar a mi universidad. Necesitas tener un nivel de inglés intermedio. Primero, tuve una entrevista online con la reclutadora, en la que también tuve que hablar en inglés. Si pasaba esa etapa, me enviaban dos pruebas: una de lógica y otra en inglés. Si aprobaba esos exámenes, pasaba a una instancia en la base de la empresa, que consistía en tareas grupales, y luego una entrevista con más de una reclutadora en inglés.

The hiring conference started with an "ice breaker" where we introduced ourselves, our career goals, and chose a favorite color from four options. This color determined a task we had to perform for the group, like acting out a cartoon character or singing a song. This was followed by a couple of hours of company presentations. Then, the group was divided into teams for a Jeopardy-style game to test our company knowledge and teamwork. We then had a buffet dinner where recruiters and managers interacted with candidates to get to know us better personally. After dinner, there were more team-building tasks, including building something with changing requirements. Before heading to the training facility, we were given coveralls. The recruiter suggested going to the bar to socialize. The next morning, we took a bus to the training facility and spent 4-5 hours touring as a group, talking with recently hired techs. Upon returning, we had time to change for one-on-one interviews. The questions in these interviews were quite general. The whole process is designed to identify candidates who can handle high stress and less-than-ideal attitudes.
