Pros

Work Life Balance. No Micro Management. Used to have good pay scale but not anymore.

Cons

After CEO change frequent reorgs resulted in Job Safety Concern. Pay roll hike is in Negative where i didn't see in any company. So much of Cost cutting in IT industry. There is no growth for techical folks as they are not visible infront of Business people.

Falling behind the times

Pros

Health (free annual exam with premium discounts, plus full coverage on cancer and cardiac-related illnesses) and relocation (sizeable lump sums with additional services) benefits are substantial. Pension is still available but the structure is not as good as it used to be. Various corporate discounts are available, particularly in Houston. Overall, a complex organization in a very complex industry that makes you appreciate the global drive for energy transition.

Cons

Salaries especially for JG5 and JG4 (ex: associate engineer and engineer, respectively) are falling behind greater industry standards. Management refuses to compare with talent outside of O&G, which happens to be where the best talent resides, while touting how much digitalization they want to achieve. It would take a minimum of 10 years to get to a competitive total compensation. We are losing young talent to tech where even remote pay will easily start 2 times higher than Shell's starting comp. People under 40 will leave for greener grass, creating a void of technical talent for years to come.

Pros

# Unlimited vacation # If you are from Latentview/Anna University than there is no need for interview, wildcard entry for for such institutions. # If you massage the ego of Team leads, Business Value Manger you will get promotion in one year. # You can become data scientist here without even knowledge of excel (forget about python/R/ML), since most of the team leads have not written a single line of codes in their whole career.

Cons

# You will forget what you have learned before joining FO Data Science Team # Trust me don't go for this profile "Finance & Data Operations Data Science Team is tasked with delivering tangible value to business units within Shell through data-driven decision making. This position is part of Finance & Data Operations Data Science team delivering advanced analytics projects for different businesses within Shell. The individual will join a growing global data science organization spanning both on/offshore". # Good for people who want to prepare for MS/Civil Services, since you are not expected to do any work.
