I submitted my application and then had to do this assessment about managing tasks and a personality questionnaire. Right after that, I had a video interview with 3 questions. First was why Shell?, then questions about working in a diverse team and building relationships.

Behavioral Technical
Shell's interview process is pretty technical and structured, usually involving behavioral and technical tests. You gotta show your problem-solving skills, know your stuff about the industry, and fit with Shell's values. If you prep well, like reviewing tech stuff, practicing problem-solving, and understanding Shell's business, it's more doable. Being good at communicating and thinking analytically is key to doing well.
