      Risky and whimsical company to join

      Senior consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good salary on papers but as there is no tax benefit (not even LTA) your net pay is very less. If you are lucky to get a good boss, you are set, otherwise get ready to be fired anytime for any frivolous reason

      Cons

      Indian management is crap and misusing Shell policy. If you earn high, India HR will identify you and will give some aliby to fire you anytime to show "cost saving" & "realignment policy". No chance of any promotion even after 4 years, unless you keep your oil machine to Indian management running. Even for health reason, they can fire you shedding crocodile tears. Discrimination is rampant and Indian Senior management is not trustworthy

      Good Company but too many "shell lifers" plus SPS is a joke

      Commercial manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      a. Nice company cultures. Most people are very helpful and professional. b. Good salary and benefits in general but not competitive to the IT companies anymore c. Development opportunities if you are in a good team d. Your work-life-balance is fully respected and managers are very people oriented

      Cons

      a. too many shell lifers! By "Shell lifers" it means people who start their first job as a graduate in SHELL and then worked all the way through their entire career. The entire knowledge set is very shell and very soon it makes you feel that it is the only way to do things. b. too much nonsense and "engagements". It was encouraged to get to know people within the organization and talk about projects that they are working on. It is nice exposure but seriously it is not fun when you feel the peer pressure to do so to increase your "visibility". c. shell people survey is a joke. Some leaders get very low scores in SPS but they got promoted anyway. So unfair to those who have high SPS scores.
