Interviewed May 2011 (took 2 months)
The interview started with back and forth email communications. Then a few weeks later I got a phone call to set up an interview. The first interview went fine and I was offered to go in for an interview with the managers. Talked about my skills and answered some behavioral questions. A week later I got a phone call from Shell telling me my skills doesn't meet their requirement for the position I wanted.

This was for Chinese students who are willing to go back to China after this 3 year training in Calgary. The HR lady was nice, and the phone interview included some behavior questions & a special topic (diversity, environment, etc.).
eg, what's your achievement? do you set milestone for yourself? ... ...

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 3 weeks)
First I had a phone interview and then I was invited to Calgary for a Shell Recruitment Day. The day consisted of a 2:1 interview, a 2:1 case analysis and a group discussion simulation. They are very clear about what they want to hear about from you (CAR). make sure that all your answers reflect at least one of those.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 weeks)
Very detailed, and informative. Interviewers try to put you at ease so you can answer all their questions. Most of the communication is via email at first, until the offer stage.
Phone interview, then group interview.Takes a while but worth the wait.

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.

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.

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took a day)
Simple 1:1 interview with questions on character, conflict resolution, communication and team building abilities. Towards the end, they'll ask you to pick a topic from a list of 5 (mine was related to the energy field) and ask you a series of questions on it. Like, if you were head of this energy department and you wanted to get the shareholders to agree to this new energy research, how would you sell it?

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.

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.
