I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Shell in Sep 2013
Interview
There was an online assessment that included quantitative and qualitative questions, followed by an on-campus interview with a very rigid outline and format. All of the questions were predefined. Even the interviewers were bored. You could tell they realized the whole process was ineffective, but had no control over it.
It was a very clear and well-organized interview process. All the questions were straightforward and easy to understand, and everything was explained clearly. I do not have any additional comments or concerns regarding the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the most challenging project you have worked in?
It was a very long and difficult interview process. Lots of exercise and team works. The process called SRD (Shell Recruitment Day). The team interaction and individual efforts were tested and reviewed.
Long process but slightly more straightforward and than competitors.
Online application, competency tests (I think they were 3 different kinds, short questions but very little time to answer), pre recorded video interview, live case study video interview, assessed internship and then job offer.
