I am just wondering if there's anyone here who got called for the F2F interview straight away without having to go through Phone interview?

I received an email (after applying through the website), which the title is : "Appointment Invitation for Employment".

And I called the person up (the one they specify on the email), asking why I have the option of either phone OR F2F interview. She said phone interview is for people who can't take a leave from their current job. While those who can, it's advisable to go through F2F.

When I apply, I was also requested (via a follow-up email) to send them my Degree Cert and other stuff.

FYI, I have 1 year working in the UK (graduated in UK too) and I recently came back (two weeks ago).

Anyone has been through this (weird) process before? From what I read here, it seems that Shell has an organized way of doing the recruitment?

Have they change this recently? (due to LYN?  )

Even you succeeded in SRD, you will not be offered for employment immediately. They will look for suitable position that meets your criteria and it may take two to three months.
I'm totally agreed with this.
I'm not sure if they got reimburse you on the parking fee.
