I applied through university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Shell in Sept 2014
Interview
You first have an online exam that consists of primarily math questions. The questions tend to be multi-step and fairly complex. There is a stringent time limit.
After completing the online exam there is a common tendency to believe that you failed :) The company typically gets back to you within a month for an actual interview if you pass the online exam. This is when you schedule an interview.
My interview was one on one with a senior level manager. We went through a one hour interview, primarily discussing my work in a team setting and moments of strength and weakness in my leadership.
An HR representative got back to me within two weeks on the phone, letting me know that I had received an offer.

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
