I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Shell (Vellore) in Jun 2019
Interview
First there was an online test on Mettl platfrom. It consisted of a total of 57 questions (25 aptitude, 30 SQL and other basic CS questions and 2 coding questions). The coding questions I got were Marbles & bowls and Windows ALT+TAB.
Then out of 350 people there were 30 shortlisted.
Then there were skype interviews the day after and on the same day 18 people were selected and fortunately I was one of them.
(Note: People from Netherlands headquarters also interviewed some of us.)
I applied online. I interviewed at Shell (Calgary, AB) in Jan 2026
Interview
Self video screening interview and then only the select candidates move forward with actual interview. It seems very few are filtered through AI filtering. They tell you if you aren't selected within few days.
The first round is a general screening with two components. the first is multiple choice where you are put in plausible situations at work regarding following guidelines. Then there is a personality quiz, and finally 3 prerecorded interview questions with unlimited attempts
