I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at NOV (Navasota, TX) in May 2011
Interview
Contacted HR to see if any internship positions were available. I heard back almost immediately. I was first given a phone interview with the hiring manager. Afterwards, I was invited to come do an on site interview. Both interviews were very relaxed. The questions were mostly about my skills and experience. Within a day or two of the on site interview, I was offered the position.
Interview process was quite simple. Very easy and mostly just getting to know you and your resume. 2 rounds first one with a recruiter and second one with two managers.

Question 1
Asked questions about resume and why I applied for the company.
The interview was okay. I was interviewed by two people and were asking average interview questions. They did mention that it would take on average 2-3 weeks to receive feedback on whether or not I would be selected to move forward.

Question 1
"Tell us a time that you had a disagreement with your manager, and how did you resolve it"
Just talked about my academic project and previous work experience. I got the sense the job was high pressure and constant deadlines to meet. Also that I would have to learn from other people on the team on the fly instead of my potential future manager.

Describe to me your academic project and what you learned from it.
