      Mistake of epic proportions

      Pros

      Salary, core values and focus on safety

      Cons

      Mismangement- Hiring Delivery managers are line managers--- My manager wants me to fill up the performance summary in GPA. Guidelines clearly say that it should reflect the supervisors vies. Policies - The policies like hot seat and the facilities make you feel you are working in BPO. Work - The quality of work and the level of useless practices takes all the motivation away. Mini IBM - Need I say more ? you project as product company and are actually worst than IT Service industries... All IBM management which fails to motivate employees.

      Pros

      Community and work environment. The people that Shell recruits are amongst the best in their respective fields and relationships are amazing and easy to make at work.

      Cons

      No cons to really note , but since I can't move forward without writing one.... Shell is competitive as it should be and the only con would be the low number of expat assignments available.

      Not a positive experience for contractors, great for direct employees.

      Pros

      As a Contractor - Learn quickly in short period of time b/c you either sink or swim. The ability to put Shell on your resume....does wonders. You have the opportunity to make many connections throughout Shell. As an Employee - great pay, benefits, etc. Overall, I think Shell is a great company for its direct employees. As a contractor you have to go in with the mindset that it is a tremendous stepping stone to greater opportunities.

      Cons

      Very defined line between contractors vs direct hire employees. Expect to be a "work horse" as a contractor, with no acknowledgement or reward other than being allowed to enter the building the next day. Management couldn't care less if you stay or leave.
