Pros

Shell Oil is one of the good companies to work for, with compensation and benefit plans that are very competitive with its peers. The work is generally interesting and the people are great.

Cons

Due to the business it is in (oil and gas exploration and production) decision-making processes can be excruciatingly slow. The company tendency is to err on the safe side on most things.

Early career engineers are given significant ownership and exposure to complex operational challenges. Strong focus on safety, technical development, and collaboration across disciplines. Opportunities to work on high-impact projects, interact with senior leadership, and contribute to decisions affecting major assets and infrastructure.

Cons

Workloads can be demanding, and priorities can shift quickly based on operational needs. Decision-making processes can be slow due to organizational complexity, and geographic mobility may be necessary for certain career opportunities.
