Pros

Shell is a very people-centric company with a global vision. It offers so many various classes of business with so many areas of expertise, you really can do anything in a company this size. Left to your own ambition, there really is a sense of taking a hold of your own future. Work life balance, compensation, and diversity are all top notch.

Cons

Lots of beauracracy , to be expected in a company of this size. Because of the varied departments and plethora of roles, responsibilites, and diversity of customers, every role is a little different so in that sense it can be a grab bag at times. Companies this big can be very political. Learning opportunities sometimes more specialized compared to a smaller company.

Pros

One of the highest paying jobs in Malaysia which pays piss ass poor. It means we have no where else to go. Excellent training for graduates for their first 5 years.

Cons

Malaysianization is happening. Benefits are slowly ebbing away.
