Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shell (New Orleans, LA) in Nov 2015
Interview
I actually got a "thanks for your interest, but not right now" type of response when I first applied, then about 10 months later got an email out of the blue saying that they had my resume on file and had an opening for me. I always thought that was a nice way of putting your application in the shredder. Go figure.
Anyway, they do a 2 part online test to screen resumes, those are about 20 minutes long and about the same content as 15 or so SAT questions. Then you are contacted for a phone interview. If you pass that, they send you to Shell Recruitment Day (SRD) at one of their sites and you go through a full day of activities with a group of people (about 3-10 other college grads) and you are each rated 1-5. Some are conflict resolution problems, some are answering emails, some are you telling them how you develop an oil field in a fictional country. If your average score is above 3 you get the job.

Question 1
Most questions were long, multi-part scenarios. "Tell me about a time...." then more specific questions about that experience. Some of them were pretty specific so it was a bit difficult to pick the right story based on the first question.
I applied online. I interviewed at Shell (Singapore)

Fun and interactive process. First and Second round was an online process while the final round was a virtual Face to Face interview that involved a case study. Was an overall pleasant interview process to got through.
Smooth and professional open discussion. I liked the hiring manager being upfront about expectations and the projects I will be involved in. It started with a screening call then an virtual interview.
