Pros

It's a Multinational and Multicultural company. You get great compensation. Career development opportunities are provided and you get to work with great people. Also you enjoy international travel opportunities

Cons

Not many. Shell is a great company to work for! Sometimes decisions take a longer time to reach because of collaboration and inclusiveness of ideas of a wide group of stakeholders

Pros

Decent work/life balance. Pension plan pretty good. Average health/dental benefits.

Cons

Lower wage than other oil & gas companies. Took management months to make decisions. Company has bad habit of hiring people who are not a good fit. Company relies too much on contractors to carry out tasks that should be done by employees. No opportunities for advancement if you are not an engineer.
