I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Baker Hughes in Jan 2026
Interview
The interview was an initial screening with the talent acquisition team, and the time taken to setup an interview from there was really promising.
The interview was with the hiring manager and another colleague, which was relaxed. The interview was good, conversational and informative. No complaints here.
I was told I would hear back within 2 weeks, but was completely ghosted even after contacting the HM & talent acquisition directly.

Why I want to work at Baker Hughes and how my experience matched up
I had gone through 2 rounds of interview process, screening call with HR and one technical interview. Technical interview was of average level, questions asked related to tech stack. Current roles and responsibilities etc.
This was an on-campus interview for Baker Hughes. The interviewers were very friendly and made me feel comfortable throughout. The process mainly focused on technical knowledge and problem-solving skills, with questions around core Java concepts and practical scenarios. Overall, it was a smooth and well-organized experience.
