Downsizing in dribs and drabs hurting morale

Pros

Shell remains at the forefront if you want to take company sponsored courses, using technical experts and consultants who know their stuff. It's a large company that does many things and if you can there are many areas to experience O&G

Cons

As the company sells assets to pay for the BG integration, morale across the office has been hit hard. Politics and games are now standard - if you are not a senior management pet or best friend, you are not going anywhere. Experienced colleagues have left the building and decisions are sometimes made by people who have less than 5 years experience; which is quite scary in this game. Outlook is very poor as company aims to hit top quartile production and costs

Pros

Excellent pay but that's about it. The overtime and stress working here is not worth the pay.

Cons

Extremely negative and political environment. Very unstable and serious lack of leadership. They do not value experience in this company at all. Would not recommend.
