I applied through university. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at SLB (Midland, TX) in Feb 2016
Interview
I had an on-campus interview the day after meeting Schlumberger at the school career fair. It was a fairly casual interview where it felt they were mostly scoping out if you could handle the extreme work environment that they put their employees through. Afterwards, I went to the second round interview. During this interview, they flew candidates from across the country to a location in Texas. We were put into small groups prior to the interview process to prepare presentations to give to the full group (30-ish people). The group portion went from 6pm-4am and was a mix of presentations, team building activities, questions, etc. During the second day, we visited a drilling site and had the opportunity to ask many questions about life in the field. I would not say the interview was difficult. It was more that they were testing are ability to be personable under low-sleep/slightly stressful conditions and that you were willing to work the long hours required by the job.

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
