Pros

Great opportunity to work in various locations / cultures. Shell offers average compensation, compared to the other "majors" but definitely has the leg up on benefits.

Cons

Like most large multinationals Shell can, at sometimes, move slowly. This is something that's being worked on with the current reorganizations.

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.
