I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Shell (Houston, TX) in Feb 2017
Interview
Only interested in you if you have done an internship there or gone to the right university, interview process is completely HR run and as such is a bit clueless as with most things run by HR.
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.
