      Decent but not great work. Moderate work-life balance.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Work-life balance (depends on the team) - Perks like one-time WFH allowance etc. - Good if you wish to do some analytics

      Cons

      - Zero bonus and hike during 2020, due to COVID - Stupid interview process which is not great at assessing a candidate's skills and assigns similar roles to people across different experience levels - You will be locked into a team for 2 years and have no option to switch - Promotion is not assured and could take 2-4 years or even longer. The process is not transparent either - Not so great work across most teams - Mainly dashboarding, simple EDA, etc. Not so much advanced analytics and interesting work

      High stress, highly political & competitive, good pay / benefits

      Safety instrumented systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay and benefits seem to be above or at average for skilled discipline engineering positions.

      Cons

      Work environments are highly political and competitive. Known issues with backstabbing / bullying. All positions are taxed heavily with responsibilities and expectations causing a very high stress work environment. Recent corporate push to reduce discipline engineering pay opportunities. Recent corporate downsizing cutting many job and limiting career advancement opportunities.

      Treathening unethical management

      Credit department
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is a multikafeteria program in which you can save every month for vouchers and you get money for relocation from a foreign country

      Cons

      When I mentioned I wanted to go to HR to report misconduct of a manager I got threatened that if I would go to HR to report misconduct I would get a problem. Management did everything to keep the stuff under the carpet and didn't want to remove the manager or move me to a safe environment as I was being bullied by the management They are very non-transparant as they didn't want to solve the issue or say what they did as the behavior of the manager continued Management is very conservative and threats you like a little kid and acts like you are dumb The management is very junior and doesn't have any knowledge and some have very limited knowledge about the process they are managing Management feels like they are above the people and in Shell the person with the highest job level is always right Management is not performing the work and nobody cares about this Quote from the ethical department: We need to look between the balance between the business and the safe work environment when I reported misconduct. HR never contacted me anymore as I said I felt very unsafe to report harassment when I filled in the exit survey Promotions are blocked and there is a lot of nepotism
