Pros

Very bright colleagues and insightful discussions

Cons

Shell is undergoing constant strategic reviews, and suffers from a very evident disconnect between the CEO and senior management. Pay is not competitive, despite the multiple attempts to gaslight staff. As the non-finanical perks like expat opportunities, training and development are disappearing, there isn't a reason to stag.

Pros

Good work life balance, Great people policies and leave culture.

Cons

Hijacked by Service Based Leaders who have ruined the environment here. New CEO and Leadership has created chaos by creating multiple waves of layoffs impacting the entire organization which have not given any fruitful result so far, and I hear some rumors about the new waves coming in 2025 as well.

Pros

The benefits are great. This is one of the few companies that still has a pension.

Cons

Very little job security. Management seems to value project managers over the technical, and this has lead to huge missed opportunities including exiting Guyana.
