I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Shell (Houston, TX) in Sep 2012
Interview
I applied online and 2 months later I received an email for an interview. All of the questions were behavioral. I felt good about the interview which was on a Friday. Early Monday morning I received an email saying they did not have anything available for me at this time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They gave me a list of 4 topics and I had to choose one of them to explain.
The topics were:
1. Diverse Cultures in a Global Organization
2. Business Competitors
3. CO2 Emissions
4. Research and Development
Attended campus recruitment and submitted resume online. Waited about 4~5 months before I received a phone call to schedule an interview.
Interview was scheduled in a week's time and was conducted by HR. Relatively straightforward, simple get to know you questions and fit assessment.
Was told that I passed the interview round and invited for the Shell Recruitment Day.
That was a tough day comprising of 3 events - morning case which tested mainly information synthesis (given about 20 pages of data and 1 hour to prepare), afternoon case of group discussion (probably to assess how well we can work in groups), and evening business case (given a business scenario and ask how we would approach the problem).
