Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Given the responsibility to take full lead on my own project, but had the full support of my managers and team. A plethora of opportunities were available, but it was up to me to make the most of them, no-one would force me.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
A great culture, couldn't fault it. A strong learning culture, people are encouraged to share ideas and knowledge, allowing for individuals to learn from one another. Even as an intern, I was given the opportunity to teach and share new technical skills I had developed with the wider team who were unfamiliar with the tool.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Shell to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Shell
Shell are hiring you as a person and not as a machine, and so the soft skills and behavioral traits are equally important (if not more) than the technical side of things. You ability to connect with different people and show respect goes a long way.
