Pros

Money. Pay is upper tier, not necessarily the best, but good enough.

Cons

1. Constant churning of roles, so nobody is invested enough to do their jobs right. Just keep your head down and hope that things don't blow up on your watch. 2. US upper and middle management tend to be terrible at their jobs, often promoted based on DEI or favoritism, but not merit. Don't believe me? Work here for six months and you will be astonished how really bad most of these people are. 3. People spend 30%+ of their time socializing.

Pros

There are excellent opportunities to advance into global roles that offer valuable career experiences and personal development, benefiting you and your family.

Cons

Shell does not have a structured career succession planning process. As a result, employees are expected to find new internal roles independently every 3 to 4 years. Additionally, the company frequently undergoes reorganizations, often occurring within the same timeframe, which can affect career progression and limit your time in the company.
