Halliburton Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Halliburton came to my university as there was a career day with the students. So, all the students from specific faculties are invited to attend the talk. Right after the talk, there were 2 test conducted, IQ test and also technical test. Both tests were multiple choice question. After that, the HR took some time to review all those tests and the shortlisted candidate were announced. There were 30 of us. Hence, the next day was the interview session with with the HR which lasted for around 20 minutes. I will be informed later whether I was successful to get through that stage. I am still waiting for the call for next stage which will be an interview with the line manager. I was informed that my CV was placed in Halliburton talent bank and will be contacted any time soon.

Interview Details Just one interview with 2 team leaders and a manager.
Applied via Career Fair at university.
Questions were general behaviorial type (Tell me about yourself, past internship experience etc)
Interviewers were keen to see if I was genuinely interested in the position and committed to working at Halliburton.
One technical question was asked.

Received an offer within a few days but declined it due to better offer elsewhere.

Reason for Declining – Better offer elsewhere.

Interview Details 1st round of interview was conducted in a panel of 3 interviewers (Talent recruiter, HR Generalist & Procurement Manager).

Questions ranged from the usual "Tell us more about yourself" and the common stable of questions.

Interview Details The interview itself seemed difficult, they asked questions that did not seem to matter. They did not ask about skills or qualifications, mostly personal situations.

Interview Details I applied via my business school's online recruiting website and was contacted for an interview through there. It was half an hour long and definitely low key, just a couple of behavioral questions.

Interview Details Worst hiring process I've ever encountered. The process is held outside the city where I live. The first day consists of aptitude test, english test, and FGD. After that they scheduled an interview section. The worst part is they keep changing the interview schedule without giving any living stipend. My interview is delayed for about 3 days for unknown reason. There's only two interview (the HR and user interview). The user interview is fine, but the HR one is very bad. It's not engaging at all.

Reason for Declining – I hate how they treat the candidate during the selection process, not to mention the very bad HR.

Interview Details Interview process was straight forward and easy. I got a call from a recruiter - basic pre-screening. Then the recruiter for the specific position contacted me and asked me to drive down to Corpus Christi for an interview in 3 days.
The interview was very basic, with a group of employees and an HR rep. Questions were easy, related to past work experience and situational reactions.
This was followed by a long, very specific description of what the position entails (work environment on the rig, long hours, etc.), the risks and compensation.

Reason for Declining – All of the compensation discussed in the interview was not part of the actual offer letter. The offer letter only stated a measly monthly stipend as compensation.
Also, the company did not offer any type of relocation/signing. I was told I could travel from 4 hours away to the rig everytime i needed to go to work, no gas compensation. I was told that this could also be on short notice too.
Dint seem like enough compensation to sign my life away.

Interview Details Out of the blue I received a phone call from a Halliburton talent agent saying that they had come across my resume and if I was interested in interviewing. I said sure and was contacted weeks later to schedule a phone interview.

The interview was with two program managers who sounded very enthusiastic about my background and what I had to offer. A week later I received another phone call from the talent agent asking if I would like to do an onsite interview. I was flown out and taken to lunch and on a tour by the same people from the phone interview. There weren't really many interview questions besides just conversation about my masters program. The following week I was asked to interview again with an HR representative and that was also typical HR questions.

The following week I received an offer from a different company that needed a decision by Friday. I contacted the talent agent and told him my predicament and was told I would not be hearing from Halliburton until the following week but that I was going to get an offer for sure and for more that what I was going to be offered from the other company. I was asked to try to postpone the deadline but that was not possible. I received a phone call every single day assuring me to hold off and that I was going to receive an offer.

I decided to go with my gut and accept the offer from the other company and told the talent agent. He then told me that he understood and that the offer was not going to be a life changing amount and that even though I declined I would still see the offer. I never received it.

Reason for Declining – I did not get a good feeling from the site visit fromthe lack of minorities and women in engineering roles and I received a swifter offer from a non-competitor.

Interview Details There is an initial interview either over the phone, email or in person. The 2nd round interview is always in person - usually includes a tour of the local facility, a dinner or lunch and takes place anywhere from 2-4 weeks after the initial interview. 2-4 weeks after the 2nd round interview depending on how well you did is when you may get an offer.
