I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Shell (Houston, TX) in May 2014
Interview
I had 2 phone interviews before a sit down interview. I had to prepare a presentation. It took about 3 hours including lunch. The backround check took some time. They also made me do a hair follicle drug test and medical examination.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pretty basic questions. They didnt play games or ask gotcha questions. They wanted examples of my previous work, experience, training... There were a couple questions about making difficult decisions and how I made them. There were about 50/50 about personality and experience.
