Pros

Shell offers excellent opportunities for growth early in your career, supports employees in moving to different roles to develop skills and can offer some international opportunities for those interested. Shell is serious about training and development, and there are numerous internal networking opportunities.

Cons

For those more senior in their career, and ambitious to take on more responsibility, Shell will be frustrating as non-quantiative factors weigh in much more heavily into promotion decisions than talent, ability to succeed, proven skills, etc.

Pros

Good opportunities to work internationally in interesting locations. The company encourages employees to define their work and the work is generally very interesting - particularly if you are in a technical field.

Cons

Large bureaucratic organization full of complex process for simple things - particularly when it comes to HR. The company can be inflexible in dealing with employees.
