      Pros

      Plenty of opportunities to work with cutting edge equipment, lots of vendor support.A supperb place to start one's career as they have procedures to cover every possible item.The journey person to apprentice ratio is out of this world. Students wanting to check out work life as a blue collar worker have an excellent opportunity to try several different trades orriented carreer paths.

      Cons

      The process of thinking for oneself is quite limited due to excessive procedures, even for the simplest of tasks. One can speak out, it's not supposed to hold you back, yet you might find it some what carreer limiting if you persist on getting answers. Schedules and paperwork are the rule, incomplete of missed paper work means the job was not done.

      Pros

      Well compensated in terms of salary. Technology driven company in terms of downstream (chemical manufacturing). The company has a good reputation and global opportunities for advancment. Shell is positioned as a leader in the chemical industry therefore you will a stable career path.

      Cons

      Not much feedback concerning performance - Closed off culture - not much communications - There mentoring program of new hires is far below average. It was a good experience however I would not return, it was not a friendly, family atmosphere.The engineers tend to stay closed off from other personnel which creates a lack of communication in solving problems.

      Pros

      The salary is good, there are many good technical people here, and the work is interesting. It feels like I can make a difference for the company if i do good work, and I am rewarded well for doing good work.

      Cons

      There is a lot of paper work in Shell it seems very difficult to get all of the different computer systems to work, and you are always having to contact people in Holland to get something done. They're constantly getting on your case about being chargeable, which I guess is to be expected in a consulting business like this.
