Pros

Shell has a broad range of business from Upstream to Retail and is affected by a lot of interesting challenges such as energy transition. On the whole it's very professional and colleagues are bright and motivated.

Cons

It's such a big company that it's sometimes difficult to get things done or make an impact as it's so process heavy.

Pros

Great training, good salary, generally good technical people.

Cons

The odd manager was disgraceful. Promoted beyond their competence. This manager was allowed to destroy a high functioning team. More senior management should have done more to remedy this, but didn't.

Pros

Hires friendly people that are a pleasure to work with. Pay is competitive, with a good bonus structure Good benefits and a strong 401k if you stay 10 + years World wide company, so good chance to move locations, etc.

Cons

Not a good grading system for employees, more who you know than how good you are at the job. Career development is a bit of a crap shoot... again it’s fairly political. Not much training given or offered. Much of your experience may be based on your manager vs Shell in my opinion.
