      Pros

      Shell takes care of its employee by providing them enough support, work-life balance and travel opportunities. The compensation and benefits are well matched to the industry standard. Many would say that it's a comany to retire with.

      Cons

      Oil industry is volatile and the company goes through reorganization every few years creating uncertainty and anxiety at the workplace. Also, the work is not very challenging most of the time which gives way to office politics and favoritism when it comes to promotions and project opportunities.

      World class Organisation’s Back office

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good to learn politics and talent crushing Learn How to make things slow Learn to escalate unnecessary Job security

      Cons

      Shell SBO is basically a back office for Shell Global and even though there are good projects they all suffer due to high level of politics. Employee is always on the mercy of his/her manager. It is required to change role every 4 years due to HR policy so you will find very limited specialists in the system and that slows down the whole process. Notice period is strictly 3 months and employees don’t have option to raise resignation in the online system. Email is the only way to raise resignation and then chase your manager to confirm on your last working day.
