Pros

The best things about Shell is the 9/80 work schedule and pay. Lot of opportunity for working abroad and moving roles.

Cons

There are too many processes. In the Regulatory/Environmental field, it is still a developing business and yet they still try to make you fit into theor competency models, but the models are not fully developed. Additionally, they want globally for everyone to have the same competencies, however, offshore in US and Onshore Gambia are just not the same regulations.
