I applied online. I interviewed at Weatherford (Edmonton, AB) in Jul 2017
Interview
Phone screening, wait 2 weeks, reference check, wait 2 more week, two day interview invite to assessment center. Day 1: tour, info abt company, no stress. Day 2: 1 on 1 interview, I went through 3, then a single group case study. Breakfast and lunch given. Very few technical questions asked. Mostly behavior questions. 20 people in the crew, competing for 4 positions. Easy process but imho they r looking for derrick hand/ field labor.. no talk of any design or real engineering task.. basically looking for a new graduate to do field technician's job. No real future training plan. Field/office rotation talk complete BS. Looks like a marketing stunt. Experience gained will not help advance career as an engineer. Only for desperate people looking for work. I would recommend you do your research and ask alot of questions.

First interview done by phone video call,the second is a meeting involves the other colleges (whose applied to the the offer and got accepted by the first interview) with the heads, the managers and the engineersof weatherford departments.
Honestly, it was such pleasure to meet weatherford team and everything was amazing and inspiring for success and improving ,they treated us with all kind and respect .
Weatherford is one of the best companies and the team is the better at all i hope to join this team ASAP.

Very few technical questions asked. Mostly behavior questions. 20 people invited, competing for 4 positions.
Easy process and interviews, but seems like they just want labor. No real opportunity for real engineering work. As the other reviewer said, it seems like a marketing stunt. If your interested in a real career as an engineer then stay away from this company. Do your due diligence and research the company.
Trying to develop the image of a green company, but there not doing anything that isn't required by law or saves them money.
People from out of town got gift cards. Drug test done if you accept offer.
