      Decent salary, but employee development and progression is unheard of.

      Pros

      This is a company that pays well. It is a part of an organization that has been around for over 100 years. In theory, you have opportunities in a variety of business units around the world.

      Cons

      The largest obstacles to success are created internally. Unfortunately, it is part of a matrix organization where different departments with different hierarchies within the larger Shell family have conflicting objectives and performance benchmarks. Frequent rotation amongst the highest levels of management result in changes in strategy every three or four years, often before the existing strategy has been fully implemented.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      a FMCG business model in an energy company organisation is run on a budget/shoe-string people are generally friendly and supportive Diversity, a business that contains the highest number of "non-Shell breed" professional - many experienced recruits Progression is faster compared to other business, but reaches the limit very fast at very young age - either you're then stuck or move to other business- commercial B2B

      Cons

      Considered an "outside" in Shell, not a core business salary way below that of Upstream + Downstream + Chemical Serious lack of graduate No structured training for graduate Not a place to grow your career in Shell - career graveyard - but good place to gain a feel of how FMCG works in reality
