Pros

Good money for the amount of output and the pace of work. Many go for many 'coffee' meetings during the day. Lots of days off. Good place if you are willing to sell your soul to the Vogons at planet 'Vogsphere'.

Cons

Weak and ever changing leadership. Round robin decision making which takes too long, and nobody takes responsibility in the event of failure, but everyone takes credit in case of success. No consistency in leadership messaging, and every swing in their 'strategy' talk brings a lot of work in the whole organization. Management by PowerPoint is the norm, so brush up your PowerPoint skills if you want to get a job with Shell Canada.
