      Pros

      The money is great, guys on the floor are awesome and very skilled tradesmen. They offer fly in fly out for those who do not wish to live in s northern community

      Cons

      Management has no idea what they're doing and very much has an "old boys" club and they have lost the trust of the employees. The camp for the fly in and out people has suffered greatly due to cutbacks.

      Pros

      Interesting projects are available, if you're buddies with right people. Everything is very early stage development, so there's no real accountability for failure. It's not a bad deal, really.

      Cons

      If you want to accomplish anything of any real meaning, you will be sorely disappointed. The company is 99% about making Shell look innovative and 1% about anything of substance. It's embarrassing.

      Weak leadership and beaurocracy

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good money for the amount of output and the pace of work. Many go for many 'coffee' meetings during the day. Lots of days off. Good place if you are willing to sell your soul to the Vogons at planet 'Vogsphere'.

      Cons

      Weak and ever changing leadership. Round robin decision making which takes too long, and nobody takes responsibility in the event of failure, but everyone takes credit in case of success. No consistency in leadership messaging, and every swing in their 'strategy' talk brings a lot of work in the whole organization. Management by PowerPoint is the norm, so brush up your PowerPoint skills if you want to get a job with Shell Canada.
