Pros

Nothing specific other than Shell Name

Cons

First let us accept the fact-Bangalore IT centre is a totally different set up, Shell is trying to set up to replace contractors for the only purpose of saving Money. So each and every thing setup here is different, the game is competing with low cost IT service delivery model.( just given example they will give you lunch coupon of Rs 50 per day , you can't buy any full meal in the world class canteen that they claim that shell has set up, you need to pay minimum 80 Rs to have lunch - need to pay from packet) Don't just compare your existing CTC and join here, your take home salary will surprise you, it's due to the tax policy. Didn't go by the designation and JD,  your actual role will be different, you will be asked to perform low level job. You will have surprise when you are about to complete your probation, your feed back will be filled by some contractors or someone who is loosing job else where ( whom you are replacing) if he gives good feed back he will loose his job, so you know the fact. Most of the new joiners will be happy for few months, later they don't know what to do. Your offer is valid for maximum 4 years, what it means you are required to do Same job for four years and you need to re apply again to maintain your job position You will be offered a joining bonus forcefully so that you will not leave, if you need to you have to pay with additional tax. Most of the employees are from Indian IT vendors of Shell, they will join as very senior level, you will find junior than you joining at very high level as they know some one and you will get frustrated. There is no work from home and they expect you to continue attending late night meetings from home as you need to interact other time zones. Stay Away if you are really interested your career!!

Opportunities to work on high-impact projects, interact with senior leadership, and contribute to decisions affecting major assets and infrastructure.
