Interviewed Dec 2008 in Houston, TX (took 2 days)
The first day is the technical interview with a one-hour presentation of my research project, followed up by several 1-1 interview with managers. They asked some questions that you may never think in that aspect. The technical interview manager was nice.
The second day is the famous Shell Recruiting Day, including the technical interview (1 hr), business strategy case interview, and group interview. They gave you a case of developing a new business plan in a small island, and asked you the associated opportunities and risks.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Houston, TX (took 2 weeks)
The interview went well, but it was the cliche interview asking things like "tell me about a time when you showed _______." I felt as if I were treated like another undergraduate seeking employment, in fact, my interviewer didn't know up front that I was a graduate student. The interviewer did not even ask me at all about my research or my expertise, which was frustrating and made me question how much Shell cares about PhD hires. Said it would take a very long time to get back to me.

Interviewed Oct 2007 in City of London, England (took 3 weeks)
The interview was a panel interview. It lasted around 45 minutes. I had to pick up one piece of piece of paper among many with different topics written on them. I had 15 minutes to prepare the topic and come and present it to the panel. Then questions were asked to me about the topic. I picked up Sports, but i guessed my performance was not good enough, because I did not get an offer.

Interviewed Aug 2008 in Houston, TX (took 1 week)
The interview was non-threatening, genuinely interested in getting to know my skills set, but extremely thorough. Questions cut through the prepared responses, and dug deep to get an accurate understanding of previous experience and job skills. Several 1-1 interviews, phone interviews, and a panel interview, with lunch and dinner discussions. The employees were well rounded, with little specializations, and positive attitudes. Very much focused on results through team work, with a culture of health and safety of the employees.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Disappointed with the compensation package, with no negotiations. Pay is based on 'job grade', and they start employees out at low end of the range to provide room for growth. Window for job grade promotion is 2 year minimum. Very focused on developing employees from within, giving a variety of career experience.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Skills Test, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.
