I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at SLB
Interview
Although we speak portuguese here in Brazil, the language of the interview was english. First, he asked me to talk about myself, about my qualities and what I think about my area of expertise. Then, after some chat, he told me a little about how people feel working there and asked me what I think about that.

How would you do to sort a set of infinite numbers from a continuous stream?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at SLB

The interview was a single fulll-day on-site interview. They asked me to give a 45 minute long talk about my research, followed by a series of 30 minutes one-on-one meetings with several managers, HR, and other team members. In some of these meetings they asked me how I would approach certain problems, and in others it was a free form discussion about the company and my goals.

Question 1
I want to measure a weak signal that is obscured by a much stronger "background" signal in the same underground location. How would you do it?
Very profesional, and the process works very well. Normally, it will take like 3~4 interviews to finally determine whether you are good or not to fill the opening. All the interviews are very professional and well organized.
