Discriminate on Age. Glam outside, rotting inside.

Pros

Salary is on par with Oil & Gas industry Good for grads/ first job for the brand name.

Cons

- Big and mini reorg every other year: most people in there with long tenure are just waiting for a nice package (above mkt norms) - Tend to select those younger talent versus those with more experience. Ageism. Ask to see the avg age of the ppl leaving during Reshape versus those they selected. - They like their grads than experience hires. Esp those that fits their mould - Hire and fire quickly - Claim "show care" but very unauthentic: and wonders why their employer of choice score is lower than the other major oil. - Looks glam outside, good reputation but v political inside. - not good for experience hire, try only if u are jobless anyway

Shell Response

Thanks very much for your review! I noticed your location and as we have offices currently in the UK, Poland and Germany, perhaps your review was meant for Royal Dutch Shell. I'm afraid I'm unable to re-route your review to the main Shell page, but please do re-share your review there, so that it reaches the right people. Our colleagues at Shell will also be grateful for your feedback! Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review, Eleanor.
