For sharing.

An agent of shell found me through shell portal. He then request me to send him an updated CV. After a few days, i received an email from a candidate coordinator of shell arranging a phone interview with me. The interviewers will then call you on the agreed time and date.

Till now, i have yet to receive further respond from there after 1 month+. So i guess, i didn't get through.

Good luck to the rest.

I applied on February 7 for the Shell Graduate Program (United States).
On February 27, I was contacted for a phone interview for the next morning.
Today, March 5, I was told I'd attend Shell Recruitment Day (SRD) on April 19.

Hopefully this gives people some idea of the timelines involved.

Background details: Ph.D., 4.0 GPA, referred to by Shell employee.

Don't worry too much about it. I completed only 15 out of all the 18 questions but I still manage to pass it. With some help from lady luck of course haha. Now I'm scheduled for an interview next week..so have some confidence in yourself! Good luck.

I got the confirmation email on the very same day. Did the online assessment early in the morning and got the mail afternoon. But I think its just so happen that they were checking the results that day since for like zephyrus' case it took them 14 days to reply. Anyway its f2f interview for my case, probably its because I stay in KL.

The Shell employee that referred me was a new graduate technical hire from 2011. She gave my resume to her department's recruiter, and they referred me to HR.

By the way, in the US, the math assessment is 16 questions in 18 minutes. Each question, without a doubt, takes at least 2 minutes to do comfortably. Unfortunately, Shell's expectations are wildly overestimated. In my case, I could only finish 11 out of the 16 questions. I still passed. Don't worry too much about the math assessment. At this stage in the game, they are mainly looking at your application and at no red flags in your online assessments.

Best of luck.

I am wondering normally how many people are called up for a SRD session normally? Usually do they set quotas like select 3/10 best or take those who shows good potential regardless of numbers

A Shell employee who is a friend of mine offered a small glimpse into this question:

1) The candidates are NOT in competition with each other
2) You are chosen based on your CAR(T) performance; if you score well, you will most likely be made an offer
3) Historically, only about 50% of people who attend SRD are offered a position
4) You will be paired with candidates who are either technical or commercial based on your background; Ph.D.'s are assessed slightly differently and have an additional technical requirement they must pass before being hired
5) If you pass SRD, you will not be given a specific position. You will become part of a graduate training program. You will, however, be considered "high potential" for the rest of your career at Shell, which puts you at a great advantage, as Shell uses potential as a measurand for layoffs, raises, and promotions.
