The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Shell in Oct 2011
Interview
The interview consisted of an interviewer who wrote my responses down to send to someone who would review the responses and decide whether I got the job. The questions were typical behavioral questions with a heavy focus on teamwork, and the last question was a very broad case question in which you were asked to solve some large-scale (worldwide) problem.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a situation in which you had to communicate with people in a way that you are not used to.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Shell (Calgary, AB) in May 2026
Interview
Shell's interview process was one of the easier and more smooth ones. Everything was communicated well beforehand and you never really had a feeling of being stressed. A lot of the initial interviewing stuff was online and automated.
Hirevue automated interview. Game-based assessment with automated results. 4 games with results describing the work processes of individuals. the fast-paced games have increasing difficulty. Similar to luminosity. Make sure to take breaks between games, it can be very intense
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Shell
Interview
Completed a pre-assessment questions consisting two parts. First part is not timed- problem based. Second part is timed (statistical questions), 16 questions to be done in 18 minutes.
Shell wil let you know if you've passed and will then proceed for an interview. I had a telephone interview, it lasted approxiamtely one hour. Typical behavioural questions were asked of me.
Some of the questions they asked:
- Why do you want to work for Shell?

Question 1
Tell me one time when you had to change your approach to complete a task.
They wanted a very specific approach of how you changed your approach (not your team).
