Pros

Good company to work with as benefits are above average the industry

Cons

Company does not provide Work from Home option for its Bangalore IT employees, they site some poor reason as campus is SEZ therefore employees can not work from Home, so guys think again before joining Shell IT centre in Bangalore if you are used to of work from home.

Pros

Join the company, only if you are good at politics, I bet people & management over here, can give any seasoned Indian politician run for money. This is not professional run software, IT or Product company. It is just time pass adda for people(especially management), who are thrown out of their previous companies due to non performance & other compliance issues. Higher management, HR & even majority of other employees working here are social pyschopaths. They don't even hesitate even a minute to spoil someone's career built over years.

Cons

I didn't see any Pros to highlight Cons. Join the company at your own risk, it would be like putting life long savings in gambling.

Pros

None I could find. Nothing.

Cons

Shell Business Operations - SBO Bangalore mass hired some employees without skills even from third class companies, you can judge that by attending their interview. SBO Bangalore is far from a product company. Full of service mentality people. Hence you know the company policies. They bother more on non work aspects,for e.g. what time you come? Have you completed 8 hours? No body asks you if you completed your work. Unless if you have a lobby/come from your managers company, your skills will not be respected even if you are a top performer. You might be asked to leave if you do not become part of the politics/lobby. It is the last company on our planet for Technical employees. They are far from reality when it comes to technology. Do not go by the x digit figure you see on paper. Bonus is big chunk of CTC, in-hand is less. You won't get bonus if you leave the company before yearly cycle. "Stay away from most plagued area in Shell, Downstream Retail." And specifically FPS Team - Fuels Pricing Team. HR's are typical service mentality people listens to managers. No brain, no questioning ability. Most importantly, If you want to destroy your career please join Shell. You are good decision makers, please see rest of the reviews and then decide your career. Few colleagues are typical characters, without knowledge of anything, Strictly ZERO knowledge of anything. Wasted my career here.
