I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Shell (Houston, TX) in Dec 2008
Interview
The first day is the technical interview with a one-hour presentation of my research project, followed up by several 1-1 interview with managers. They asked some questions that you may never think in that aspect. The technical interview manager was nice.
The second day is the famous Shell Recruiting Day, including the technical interview (1 hr), business strategy case interview, and group interview. They gave you a case of developing a new business plan in a small island, and asked you the associated opportunities and risks.

Interview
Ca. 40 mins talk with 2 recruiters - typical interview questions based on my CV, a bit about myself, a bit about my education, etc. Very pleasant and easy-going people, flexible when it comes to the form of the interview (face to face/skype). I had to wait quite long for their decision (a few weeks), while a friend of mine received an e-mail after one or two weeks.
