Pros

Good digital environment. nothing great to say

Cons

Shell India Market Pvt Ltd operates more like a service provider than a true business unit. Leadership tends to manage everything top-down, often without trust in or collaboration with teams. There’s a strong "control over contribution" mindset, which stifles initiative and ownership. Nepotism is also a concern—there's a pattern of relatives and spouses being hired or protected, regardless of merit. This not only creates an uneven playing field but also erodes trust in leadership decisions. If the company truly wants to build a performance-driven culture, it needs to stop insulating its inner circle and start empowering the broader talent pool. Trust your teams. Reward based on capability, not connections.
