I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Shell (Houston, TX) in Oct 2009
Interview
The interview went well, but it was the cliche interview asking things like "tell me about a time when you showed _______." I felt as if I were treated like another undergraduate seeking employment, in fact, my interviewer didn't know up front that I was a graduate student. The interviewer did not even ask me at all about my research or my expertise, which was frustrating and made me question how much Shell cares about PhD hires. Said it would take a very long time to get back to me.
