Pros

The company takes the welfare of its employees seriously. There is a commitment to work/ life balance (a program to ensure that employees strike a balance between their work life and their quality time at home. Furthermore, the company takes serious interest in the careers of their staff, e.g. they will pay for further studies.

Cons

There was very little room for innovation since all decision making was done at a much higher level of the organisation, in London, and the local operating units like Shell South Africa only had ti implement decisions made elsewhere
