Pros

People you work with are mostly great Workload is manageable Big name brand - opens doors when you leave

Cons

Going there later in your career as an ‘experienced hire’ is a mistake - the ONLY thing that counts at Shell is how many years you’ve worked at Shell Expertise is viewed with scepticism & you will be working for leaders who don’t have any idea what they are leading Most people are smart but generalists & you’ll get rusty very quickly if you go there

Pros

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.
