      Programmer Interview

      1 Aug 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cape Town
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Shell (Cape Town) in Jul 2014

      Interview

      The interview started off with the usual online application.After submitting CV and cover letter i then got invited to do the online tests which are about ranking certain situations in the workplace from the best response to the worst response.After 2 months from my initial application i got a notification about a phone interview. I was phoned by a woman from Shell HQ in The Hague,behavioural interview with some questions about the company at the end.The telephone lasted for over an hour.Most of the Shell interview processes are readily available online but i was still caught off guard by some of her HR questions.Know your story inside out and be prepared to state your achievements as if you did them alone. Sadly i got a rejection email 2 days after my interview. Goodluck to everyone :)
