Baker Hughes Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details I had a phone interview and a week or so later I was invited to the Baker Hughes Experience. For the phone interview, I was asked to go through my resume and they asked me questions like, "Explain a situation where you used your technical knowledge" and "Tell me about a time where you didn't have enough information to do a technical project"

For the first day at the BHE, we met all the managers and had a short meet and greet session, had dinner and saw a presentation about the company. Afterwards they put you on the spot and get you to ask questions.. The second day was a 'fun' day. We went to one of their facilities and started out by introducing ourselves and then got placed into groups to build a rig based on a picture and some specs. My guess is they wanted to see how you work in a team environment and if you can cooperate with people you barely knew. The managers split up to look at all the groups and took notes. Then we had lunch and got to talk to a field engineer who was on an international assignment. After that we were placed into 3 different groups. Each group took turns doing a different activities/assessments (tour, hands-on tests, and a case study). By the time all the groups were finished, we headed back to the hotel for dinner and one last assessment (a debate of sorts). The third day involved presentations. We were placed in a new group and had 30 minutes to prepare a 10 minute presentation.

Throughout the whole experience, it was important to leave an impression on the managers. There was no one-on-one interviews but they intentionally gave us breaks so that we can pull them aside and ask questions. I don't believe that I stuck out during the whole thing (unlike some people who would always be asking questions or have something to say about a topic), but when I was put on the spot I answered with conviction. There was 19 of us and we were told that they currently had 11 positions open. If they liked all of us, all of us would be hired.. but that also meant that they could decide not to hire anyone.

Interview Details Met HR at my school job fair, had phone interview and later one-on-one interview

Negotiation Details – No negotiation

Interview Details Was contacted by HR with a brief phone interview asking general questions basically confirming with information on the resume. Then a panel interview in person with hiring manager and HR Lead. They followed a scripted set of questions while taking notes in turn. Questions were behavior in nature with some scenarios thrown in.

Interview Details I met with two managers. It was simple just spoke about my experience. They were very laid back. It took two weeks for them to get back to me with an offer. THen I had to do a physical and drug test.

Negotiation Details – no. Make sure you ask for previous experience to go towards your vacation time. Also, ask for reloccation allowance. They won't offer it.

Interview Details I am very impressed the their recruitment process. Its one of few companies that actually respond to applications as soon as possible.

Interview Details I applied for the position online. Several hours after that, a human resource person contacted me and set up a telephone interview. THe interview mainly focused on my experience, how did I know about the position, describe my skills. I was not well at that time so the interview did not last long, just 20 minutes or so
