Pros

Due to the size of the company, there are always plenty of opportunities for you internally both locally and potentially internationally. People work hard and you are generally surrounded by very intelligent people. The benefits and pay are competitive and having an onsite swimming pool, gym, subsidised canteen (Shell Centre) are good perks

Cons

You will need to build networks as it widens the opportunities available to you. You will be ranked in terms of your potential and if you do not exceed, then the opportunities, training and salary that you can achieve will be restricted

Pros

Shell has great people & great benefits and despite issues, I would recommend people seek opportunities! The US personnel will never be trusted - only the Dutch and English. Texans can't hold the top spots since John Hofmeister (Shell Oil CEO) and Fran Keeth (Shell Chemicals CEO)

Cons

This is a great spot to get your basic aligned and then you should leave before you stalemate. Shell is miserly on essentials like offices and the intangibles.
