I went to a Shell Recruitment Day in Houston, the last round before offers are given. The interview was quite difficult, consisting of a few different activities and several assessed interviews. The 6 assessors are pretty nice, however a little unnerving because they always ask "Is that all?", or "Anything else?". I don't like that some of them were incredibly peculiar and made me second guess myself at every hard question. However, there were a few especially nice and insightful assessors that really make it less nerve-wracking. It's very tiring spending an entire day doing these assessments and not knowing how you are doing.
I actually came out of the SRD feeling pretty good about my chances, but got an automated regret e-mail 7 days later instead of the personal response they promised within 5 days.
The rejection sucks, but whatever. It's good interview practice I guess. Oil and gas is going nowhere fast, so maybe it's a sign.
