Pros

Great team, feels like family, competitive compensation, good working conditions, progressive HR policies, proud to work for Shell, good image, reputation

Cons

Bureaucratic, governance from the center, sometimes it takes too long to take a decision, the decision-making ability is taken away, if you work in a subsidiary often you are just an implementer

Pros

Working with people of decent calibre. Rapid pay progression in the first few years when entering under the graduate scheme. Very interesting recruitment methodology.

Cons

Consensus-driven. Radical ideas or changes take time given the size of the organization. Career progression could reach bottleneck after 5 years.
