Pros

- Shell is recognized as a leader in the oil sector, so it will look very good in your Resume - It's a great place to get experience - Good place to get training - Treats well Dutch and British citizens, so if you're one of them, go for it

Cons

- Shell has as their core values: Integrity, Honesty and Respect for People; and they break all of them in the course of doing business, as long as it's suitable for management to do so. They cut costs at the employee's benefit package expense, for instance. That's not "respect for people" - Very clear distinction between Dutch/British and other nationalities, more so than in other companies I've worked or know about

Complicated supply chain across wide range of product lines. Large company; slow change progression. Political mine field between agendas/accounts. Health benefits lacking behind most companies.
