Shell reviews

Shell works on a top-down corporate culture with only senior managers expected to speak and be listened to in meetings. Very little of business value appears to get delivered and nobody cares. Shell seem to think that cutting costs by offshoring and paying the profits out to shareholders is the height of their ambitions now that oil & gas is out of favour. So they hire technical staff that are bad at their jobs but are cheap. Pretty much everybody in IDT delivery below management are now Indian. Once in a position of power, they make sure they only hire Indians.

The largest flaw I have experienced is by Shell placing leadership based on their education or outside experience. I recently received a poor IPF by a "new to Shell" manager because I did not lead like he led in the military. I achieved my goals and highest results in the department. Proved to HR and Employee Relations that I was discriminated against for not being like him. They recognized and acknowledged the unfair actions against me, but finally said 'HR does not have the ability to reverse the wrong done to you'. It cost me over 10k in my bonus, over $3,000 each year in my compounding salary and more in my pension when I retire. I received a punitive punishment based on confirmed discrimination and lack of diversity with zero desire for the business to make it right.
