Pros

Shell provides good salary and benefit package including employee discount stock purchase plan. They have a friendly international environment . I was impressed by internal mobility allowing to move around and get experience in different roles across enterprise.

Cons

Shell is currently outsourcing IT jobs and a lot of project work to a new IT hub built in India per the latest company strategy to cut costs.

Pros

+ Company looks great on your CV + Job will force you to learn quickly and think on your feet + Huge challenge ...... if you can call it that!

Cons

- Many important Finance functions have been off-shored which limits control - Finance is not embedded with business so people have poor visibility of actuals. - Massive turnover rate of finance personnel in Philippines, India and Poland so little knowledge there is, is retained. - Multiple finance systems across multiple companies within Shell create inherent inefficiencies and complexities when accounting and trading, - Finance staff within the America's and Europe have the type of skills and experience needed to understand or use the finance systems effectively.

Pros

Good Pay and Good Benefits

Cons

You really need to know someone to have future opportunities. Those that choose to be in the bosses inbox everyday seem to succeed better than those that stay quiet and do their job.
