Baker Hughes Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details I applied directly through their careers website. Got a call after a month. First it was a informal Hr round on the phone. Then they had a techincal round on the phone again. Asked about my resume and past experience. It lasted for about an hour. Not very tough though. It was good. After 3 days they made an offer.

Interview Details Applied in January. Heard nothing until I attended a RIGZONE virtual career fair in about March and chatted online with a BH rep. About two weeks later I had a phone screen, and about a month later I was invited to the Baker Hughes Experience in Houston.

The Baker Hughes Experience is fun. Don't worry about that if you like solving puzzles, presenting, doing groupwork, and stuff like that.

Now, here is the important part:

Baker did not tell us, UNTIL WE WERE IN TEXAS AT THE BH EXPERIENCE EVENT, that they were only hiring for two product lines, and that you are immediately tied to a product line upon accepting an offer into the FEDP role. You then must spend three years NOT in a rotational position living in the geographic area where you'll work, cut off from everything else. Furthermore, it is impossible to change product lines once you're in- if they assign you "Artificial Lift in Midland TX," then that means that you have to live in Midland TX and do artificial lift for your career, take it or leave it.

This is in complete opposition to what my recruiter on the phone screen told me. According to him, specialties are not assigned immediately and you rotate during the development program. This is not correct.

I was not interested in either of the two product lines that Baker Hughes decided to hire us for, and was caught very much by surprise that they would withhold this critical information until the first day of the interview.

Also at the event, Baker explained the development program. The "training" is really only a few seminar-type classes that last a couple days- doesn't seem to be very valuable or useful. Just go to YouTube and google "Hydraulic Fracturing."

The "project" in your third year as an FEDP is just a two-week period in which you think about and propose something. Seemed very mundane and looked as though Baker is trying to get credit for "being innovative, spurring though" without actually doing much.

I communicated the fact that I was not interested in either of the product lines that Baker waited to inform me they were hiring for, and, of course, did not get an offer. I think I dodged a bullet though because it did not seem to me through my experience that Baker is a high accountability, high performance organization that invests in its people and is honest and upfront.

Negotiation Details – I didn't negotiate !

Interview Details Applied online, got a phone interview invitation after half a month. Basic question about you, they are interested to know about you in that phase. Regardless of result of telephone interview you will get English test. If you score more that 5 out of 10 you will be qualified to be considered for final stage, "Baker Hughes experience" (assessment).
If you are invited for assessment, it usually lasts for 2 days. Be well rested and full of energy, they most likely try to drain your energy during those days.
Getting up at 6am and finishing everything at 7pm can tell you a lot. It will include your self presentation (oral), rig building, business drive case in an oil company (teamwork), IQ tests, verbal English tests based on some story (easier than TOEFL), mechanical tasks (tool completion, ph testing, working with multimeter (try to learn how to use multimeter on youtube) and etc. Might get some tricky personal question, try to relate everything to company's values (read them on website). There will be a debate which I think solves the main part of recruitment puzzle for HR and Managers. Try to be at your best in debate.
You will get tired during the assessment and not know what comes next and when the lunch and etc. but it is just they try to imitate the working environment in a service company so don't even to try to complain to anyone from company during breaks, express that you are enjoying.

Negotiation Details – They don't negotiate, but a good salary and benefits package for fresh graduate.

Interview Details After a phone in interview a one on one interview in Baker hughes training facilities in Dubai. Very friendly atmosphere and very nice people. I wish i got through...

Interview Details attend the baker hughes experiance. Very competitive and difficult to receive an offer. Not a good place to start if you are a sophomore or have a lack of work experience. However it is a great company if you are able to get the internship. However I do not recommend this if you have no previous work experience as you will probably not get an offer.

Interview Details Phone call

Interview Details Interviewed on campus for a position in Houston. A month later, I was invited to the BHE in OK. Didn't get the itinerary of the flight plan, hotel, etc. until the night before. BHE consisted of interviews with various hiring managers and a technical presentation of our choice. They tend to beat around the bush and take forever.

Interview Details The process lasted for about 30 minutes. Got a call in time. During the interview i must be answered a series of generic, technical and competency based interview questions
