Very thorough application and interview process. After the initial online application, all applicants take two online timed tests. The quantitative portion was pretty tricky because of the limited amount of time available, I was surprised I passed. After the online tests, a campus recruiter reached out to me shortly after for an on campus interview. The on-campus interview was strictly behavioral and followed their CAR (capacity, achievement, relationships) model. In total it lasted thirty minutes. After the on-campus, interviewees are invited to SRD (Shell Recruitment Day). They are held in New Orleans and Houston and last all day. The night before the SRD they take you to a nice local dinner where you are free to talk to current Shell graduates. The following day includes more individual behavior interviews, a group presentation, individual case study, computer exercise -responding to fake emails, and a lunch with your interviewers.

Shell’s interview process usually begins with online assessments and progresses to a Final Assessment, which includes a business case study presentation and a behavioral interview. Throughout the process, assessors evaluate your problem-solving ability, communication skills, leadership potential, teamwork, adaptability, commercial awareness, and how you approach complex business challenges and decisions.
