I applied through university. I interviewed at Shell
Interview
Had an initial on campus interview and then flew down for the final round all day interview called the Shell Recruitment Day (SRD) with 8 other candidates. During SRD, we took online assessments and group case studies as well as an individual case study followed by face to face interviews with hiring managers.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Shell in May 2024
Interview
The case study was an extensive deep dive into multiple companies, analyzing their strategies, operations, and outcomes in detail. Each section presented unique challenges, from interpreting complex data to understanding diverse business models. Despite the effort it demanded—hours of research, critical thinking, and problem-solving—the process was incredibly rewarding. It not only expanded my knowledge but also sharpened my analytical skills and provided valuable insights into industry practices. By the end of it, the sense of accomplishment made every difficult moment worthwhile.

If you decide to pick this company for the study why?
Only three of four questions asked, all of which very common in interviews. Interviewer was nice so made the experience comfortable. Overall a neutral experience but made me realise nothing special about the scheme
