Pros

Even though Shell is a global company with worldwide careers, the company has a strong local character in each location. No one size fits all mentality. It's therefore an easy place to work and fit in. Training and development for junior staff is probably best in industry. Generally very low turn-over of staff; stable company with above average job security in oil and gas.

Cons

Company struggles to combine global presence with local leadership. It's very common not to have your line manager in the same location (sometimes the other side of the world), leading to poor team dynamics and strong dependence on deputy leadership. Additionally, questions arise around the quality of performance reviews by line managers that have only very sparse personal interaction with their staff.

Pros

Your coworkers are technically competent and generally friendly. There are really good people there. It is a large company, so there is room to grow. Team leads are generally good with people.

Cons

You can get "stuck" in some jobs. This isn't bad if your job is critical, but it's awful if they decide they don't need that done anymore and consider you as less qualified than others to change roles. Some groups have excellent management, but there can be some micromanagement. Talk to people on the team you are trying to join. Recent introduction of forced ranking has reduced the collaboration that made it a great place to work.
