Shell Graduate program
 

I have recently applied to Shell's graduate program. Completed their online assessment and passed their first interview.

Anyone have any idea how fast they schedule their assessment centre?

Anyone being shortlisted?

Anyone who is a recent graduate on this program can share about this program ( the pros n cons)?

How is the starting pay package for fresh grad?

I am graduating this year and been offered a job with another big oil major. Been offered 4k/month and 3 months aws. So this could be your rough gauge on how much you are expecting to get. My guess would be higher...

All the best!!!

How about the approximate number of fresh grads to be taken in every year into the big oil majors?

Shell's graduate package is 3.4k (with NS), 3 month fixed aws and a variable bonus depending on personal and company performance (approximately 0-6 months; on average about 2-3 months). Not sure if this has changed.

Exxon's graduate package is about 4k (with NS) and a 3 month fixed aws and there's no variable bonus.

Intake size?

For Exxon, there were around 200 graduating students who attended the career talk. They were hiring around 60 people out of the 200 students. Exxon had opened a new plant and I guess they are hiring heavily recently.

We have to apply directly from their site for shell? Grad programme means? If I just want to be an electrical engineer there, do we still take this route?

Graduate program is a fast-tracked program. You're likely to have more opportunities and people expect more of you because the selection process is much tougher than normal ones.

Are you a fresh graduate or experience hire? Graduate program of course applies only to folks who are fresh out of college or maximum 2-3 years into their work life after college.

How about numbers at shell?
