Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Shell to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Shell
Interview Process may feel long, however the end result is very much worth it. Being able to explain yourself and articulate the choices you make in the final case study is more important than "being right". It's okay to feel a little lost in your first few days as its a massive global company, however you learn quite quickly how everything works and the basic structure of Shell, people on your team and where help is.
