Pros

Great safety culture, generally good teams, lots of options if you are willing to relocate.

Cons

Best to keep your morals and standings to yourself. Had to leave because due to so much DEI being forced down our necks.

Pros

Strong work-life balance with reasonable hours and flexibility that's rare in the energy sector. The compensation package is competitive, and benefits are comprehensive—health coverage, retirement matching, and other perks are solid. As a major multinational, Shell provides access to interesting technical projects and exposure to global operations.

Cons

Decision-making can be painfully slow due to multiple layers of approval and corporate bureaucracy. Even straightforward technical decisions often require extensive documentation and sign-offs, which can be frustrating when you want to move quickly on projects. The organizational structure sometimes prioritizes process over progress.
