Shell reviews

- Lack of career progression (unless you have the right mentor or the right ethnicity) - Mobility: Significant cost pressures have made relocations outside one's own base country almost impossible, so although an international company, very localised opportunities - Uncertain outlook post BG acquisition (which has been a disaster in terms of financial stability: for e.g. lack of cash flows affecting everything; massive spike in redundancies across the board which is affecting morale, job security etc) - Below average colleagues: Lack of motivation, drive, intellect - Politics is massive

- Management at Albian Sands is very poor. While I never directly dealt with senior level management, I was very disappointed with the mid-tier management. - The workplace used to be a friendly, challenging and healthy environment but that has degraded significantly over the past two years. Some departments have become very toxic. - The organization has become very top-down. Fear of disagreeing with your superior is present throughout the whole organization. You are expected to blindly follow orders and critical thinking is discouraged. - Management has become very disconnected from employees. Every form of bottom-up communication has become too formalized. - Very little room for innovative and challenging work - you’re expected to follow orders - no more or less. - Empty buzz words and phrases being thrown around every where and every day to the point that it actually insults the intelligence of employees. - From the day I started to the day I left, management seemed to be hashing out the roles and responsibilities... - Their employee evaluation system is very ancient and flawed. It does nothing but demoralize the employees in my opinion.
