I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Shell in Oct 2023
Interview
Interview was done on teams. Didn't get to meet the rest of the team or see the office. It comprised two parts: 1 hour of HR questions, 1 hour of technical questions. Technical questions were fairly straightforward. The HR questions seemed waffly. The interviewers clearly had a checklist of qualities they were looking for with each answer and they took lots of notes
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give an example of how your work has aligned with the company's strategy, tell us specifically what you did and the outcome
Pre-interview, the HR were spookily friendly bordering on the intimidating (phrase that stuck: "they will go deep!" meaning that the interviewers will get to your deepest thoughts - they didn't). I gave two presentations about my work. Senior employees asked typical HR questions and others pertaining to my background. They gave me a crisis scenario to respond to as a CEO. The HR person sat there throughout, banging the keyboard. Had friendly lunch with a potential colleague, to see if I matched I suppose. Spoke with all team members. I was there at HQ all day.

Question 1
Many HR questions (example of how you resolved past conflict, etc). "What would you like to ask us?" And what I would do as a CEO if a celebrity publicly blamed my fictitious company's product for their child's injury.
I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Shell (Houston, TX) in Aug 2012
Interview
Submitted my application to the school career website and also the Shell website. Got a phone call one day afternoon and was notified that a face to face interview will take place soon. During the interview was asked some behavior questions like what challenge I faced when teaming up with someone. Didn't get any feedback until two months later when I got email saying that position was in the middle of being matched.
