Interviewed Sep 2011 in Calgary, AB (Canada) (took a day)
Had a 3-hour interview with manager & HR. It revolved around the information my resume + behavioural questions. Pretty elaborate, I would say. Interview was held in a very professional manner, both HR & manager took lots of notes. Prior to an interview had to sign-off background check release for the verification of education, employment history & references and for criminal record check, and also was requested to provide two copies of ID. Got an offer with sign-off bonus. With an offer I received new forms for background check, a separate form for drug test, and a request to provide copy of the degree certificate.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
My current employer counter-offered (salary increase, additional week of vacations + promotion). Offer from Shell was VERY good, but the counter-offer was better.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Calgary, AB (Canada) (took a day)
Interviewer was not too professional. Limited time for a lot of question. Have very specific information that they're looking for (doesn't allow you to expand on your answers). Questions were none of the typical interview questions.

Interviewed Sep 2008 in Calgary, AB (Canada) (took 3 months)
Started with a phone conversation with HR. Had regular email communications. Had in-person interviews with HR and future managers. Went well. Very pleasant. Be prepared and bring a sample of some creative work you have performed recently.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
They offer the max salary up-front. Focus on signing bonus increases and annual bonus percentage. Everything else at Shell is a slam dunk, not much need to negotiate.
