I applied online. I interviewed at Shell (Bengaluru) in Nov 2015
Interview
I applied online and got a confirmation on the interview after 20 days.
The first round was telephonic interview which focussed on 3 main competency areas and took about 45 minutes. It was quite basic ranging questions from my current role to some challenging experiences and how it was handled etc..
After a few days I got a call for the final assessment. On the interview day, I arrived early as the interview was scheduled at 8 AM but it started off late as the coordinator was late - not a good start I would say. There were 2 persons from US who took the interview and it lasted for 90 minutes and the questions were mainly behavioral related with very less technical questions (maybe around 2 or 3).
I got invited to the hire view and then didn't do well on the company assessment because they hide the information in a tab that I couldn't see unless full screen
Good all the process was going great with online platform first and i was happy i got the chance for it. Would say difficult rather but it was well and good process
Interview process was 1 online assessment and 1 technical+HR round. It focused on various concepts you study in college like dsa, oops, etc. The HR questions were mainly behavioural. Overall smooth process.
