Pros

Shell has great people & great benefits and despite issues, I would recommend people seek opportunities! The US personnel will never be trusted - only the Dutch and English. Texans can't hold the top spots since John Hofmeister (Shell Oil CEO) and Fran Keeth (Shell Chemicals CEO)

Cons

This is a great spot to get your basic aligned and then you should leave before you stalemate. Shell is miserly on essentials like offices and the intangibles.
