The interview process consisted of a gamified IQ test, followed by an interview that you record yourself. Then I had to do two interviews, one was a phd presentation and one was a case study. Unfortunately during the process I said I preferred to work within 2 roles (software engineer and data engineer) but I was placed within a data scientist role. The data scientist role was basically just working on things that the AI team themselves felt was ''beneath them'' as explained by the line manager. The process overall from start of application to end took 2 months and at some times I felt that I was ghosted by the company since response times were often 3 weeks+ (especially during the IQ test and recorded interview stages).
I declined because the offer was far below market rate, especially for a position that preferred a PhD. Also there was no CLA coverage for this position, so there is a good chance in 1-2 years you actually earn less in terms of purchasing power with current inflation numbers... There was no negotiation possible with salary either which is extremely odd for a no CLA position. For a foreigner looking to live in Amsterdam, with the salary it would be extremely hard to find housing and even if you would it would be a paycheck to paycheck situation.

There are no technical questions whatsoever. I held the PhD presentation about a software / data engineering project for two chemists..
I can recommend for the IQ test to just perform well, you might get screened for CV at this stage. In the pre recorded interview have a quality microphone + quality camera. For the case: spend at least 6-8 hours studying it. Ask yourself questions and scenarios that they could come up with about the case. Treat it like some sort of exam because that is pretty much the setup, you will be talking for one hour straight while you get a question every now and then.

The interview process focses on behavioral assessments and technical screenings. Candidates are tested on the "CAR" method, focusing on safety, leadership, and on job competence through structured and in depth questions.
The first round is a recorded video interview. You need to record some videos based on their questions. There were 3 questions or me, which is not very unique. About your project, your interest in Shell.
I recently completed a video interview on HireVue, and the overall experience was pretty interesting. The platform presented a large number of psychological assessment questions along with several prompts focused on workplace morality and ethical decision-making. I appreciated that HireVue allowed unlimited time to record and re-record my video responses, which took a lot of the pressure off and made the process feel more flexible and less rushed.
Each portion of the interview was fairly in-depth and required thoughtful answers, so it ended up taking around 30 minutes per section. The combination of the structured assessments and the freedom to redo videos made the entire interview feel thorough but manageable.
