Pros

# Unlimited vacation # If you are from Latentview/Anna University than there is no need for interview, wildcard entry for for such institutions. # If you massage the ego of Team leads, Business Value Manger you will get promotion in one year. # You can become data scientist here without even knowledge of excel (forget about python/R/ML), since most of the team leads have not written a single line of codes in their whole career.

Cons

# You will forget what you have learned before joining FO Data Science Team # Trust me don't go for this profile "Finance & Data Operations Data Science Team is tasked with delivering tangible value to business units within Shell through data-driven decision making. This position is part of Finance & Data Operations Data Science team delivering advanced analytics projects for different businesses within Shell. The individual will join a growing global data science organization spanning both on/offshore". # Good for people who want to prepare for MS/Civil Services, since you are not expected to do any work.

Pros

Good salary on papers but as there is no tax benefit (not even LTA) your net pay is very less. If you are lucky to get a good boss, you are set, otherwise get ready to be fired anytime for any frivolous reason

Cons

Indian management is crap and misusing Shell policy. If you earn high, India HR will identify you and will give some aliby to fire you anytime to show "cost saving" & "realignment policy". No chance of any promotion even after 4 years, unless you keep your oil machine to Indian management running. Even for health reason, they can fire you shedding crocodile tears. Discrimination is rampant and Indian Senior management is not trustworthy

Pros

a. Nice company cultures. Most people are very helpful and professional. b. Good salary and benefits in general but not competitive to the IT companies anymore c. Development opportunities if you are in a good team d. Your work-life-balance is fully respected and managers are very people oriented

Cons

a. too many shell lifers! By "Shell lifers" it means people who start their first job as a graduate in SHELL and then worked all the way through their entire career. The entire knowledge set is very shell and very soon it makes you feel that it is the only way to do things. b. too much nonsense and "engagements". It was encouraged to get to know people within the organization and talk about projects that they are working on. It is nice exposure but seriously it is not fun when you feel the peer pressure to do so to increase your "visibility". c. shell people survey is a joke. Some leaders get very low scores in SPS but they got promoted anyway. So unfair to those who have high SPS scores.
