Shell Downstream

Business Outlook

Pros

Quite good salary and benefits, lot of job opportunities, generally good support for pursuing personal development/skills outside of your own exsisting skill pool

Cons

Complex, bureucratic, lot of talk and little action, conflicting internal drivers, opaque and random performance measurement system (each employee given a score that adds to average of 1, i.e. if I do well someone else has to do worse), disconnect between the actual value of the work done and compensation, too many managers and too little alignment amongst them
