Round: Interview
Experience: It was very informal.They started off with the basic question:"Tell me about yourself",then they asked what we liked most in the job,and why we applied for it.

Round: Test
Experience: Written   test   has   around   50   technical   questions   and   15   quantitative   and   verbal   English   questions.   Technical   part included questions  mainly from strength of materials  and design.  Quantitative and verbal part was  easy.  There was negative marking also and we had more than sufficient time for answering the questions.
Duration: 120 minutes
Total Questions: 65

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: GD   was   very   informal   and   was   conducted   after   the   interview.   It   was   just   like   a   casual   discussion   with   friends.   I could add my points to whatever I supported and made my opinion convincing.
Duration: 15 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Questions   which   I   had   done   wrong   in   the   written   test   were   discussed.   I   came   up   with   the   correct   answer   by analysing the question step by step and using the hints  given by the interviewer. I was then showed a ppt having a practical   problem   related   to   design   of   their   subsea   wellhead   system.   He   described   me   about   its   construction   and also   gave   me   some   hints.   He   didn't   expect   any   specific   correct   answer   from   me   but   basically   tested   my   way   of analysing and approach.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: HR   questions   were   asked   during   the   technical   interview   only   ­   Tell   about   yourself   other   than   what   is   there   in   the resume,  your strengths,  weaknesses,  interests,  hobbies,  Why did  you choose FMC,  These days  while many of the Indians are worried about salaries, what is your opinion and preference.

Skill Tips: Study   the   basics   of  strength  of  materials   and   design  thoroughly.   Once  you  are   perfect  with  the  basics  you  will  be able to solve any type of question given. Be confident while answering rather than worrying about what if it is wrong because they only test your reasoning skills. Best of Luck.
