Interviewed May 2009 in Deer Park, TX (took 1 week)
There was one interview. I was on a co-op internship during highschool so I got the interview through connections. It was brief and they asked the typical questions you'd find on top 100 questions in an interview. Like I said, I got the job easily because I was in a co-op class, so I can't give you a measurement on how hard it was to get the job.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Rijswijk, South Holland (Netherlands) (took 2 months)
Took very long to setup the interview after that had to wait quite some time for the result as well.
The rest after this stage was well setup (SRD) and soon afterwards you get an answer if you got a job offer or not.
Prepare well prepare for the questions, which all can be found online. But most importantly be honest, they do know when you lie! Check the Shell website what the most important aspects they looking for, they even give you some example questions, which they will ask during the interview!

Interviewed Dec 2008 (took a day)
Initially I applied for an internship with the company but my application got into the recruitment basket instead. I was flown to Miri for the interview and it consisted of 3 sections; an analytical problem solving session which involves evaluating a case study and then presenting findings to a panel, a group interview with 7 other candidates and a technical presentation.

Interviewed Aug 2008 in Aberdeen, Scotland (United Kingdom) (took a day)
Told to sit and wait one of the interviewers was late- he didn't apologise when he finally arrived but the boss did. 2 on one interview. Routine competency questions and background knowledge checks. One interviewer was extremely rude and abrasive and asked very pointed questions to the extent that I suspected it was a ploy so I played it cool and used my background knowledge to answer questions. It was almost like good cop/ bad cop! This went on for around 45 minutes before both interviewers nodded to each other and the interview ended. I was introduced to the other staff members and driven to the station by the guy who had previously been abrasive and congratulated on getting the job!
Culture- laid back.
