      Worst company ever - DO NOT JOIN SHELll

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      WORK life balance and that is the only good things about Shell

      Cons

      * Extremely Bureaucratic as everyone was too busy managing their boss and stakeholders * Its a Soul Sucking company so it is not suitable for anyone who is looking to have a career development or any opportunities as your boss will be too busy taking all your credits for his/her own promotion.* Its a company are non D&I focus (even if they pretend to be) and silo thinking when nothing gets done in Shell * Strong bias and favouritism on their graduates even they are totally crap and dumb, they will still get all the opportunities and credits from the team members which totally demotivates good employees who are actually performing as Shell are just way toooooo biased * Does a lot of good talking but no idea what to do * No accountability and no responsibility from the management and its all about how good you can do your sweet talking. * Poor benefits and outdated performance management that are unfair.

      Senior Finance advisor

      Senior finance analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Job rotations policy. Each role is for 4-6 years. Good exposure to many parts of the energy business Great flexi work options available (work from home, part time, job share) Medical benefits cover spouse and dependent children. Deductible is SGD 200 per year, employee pays 20%, Shell pays the other 80% for all medical visits above the deductible. (Generally) Intelligent, collaborative and knowledgeable folks to work with. You can call up anyone in Shell to find out what they do, and you get their time! (Generally) Discussions are civil, even when they are heated.

      Cons

      Finance jobs in non finance operations "FO" countries are being offshored more and more to KL, Chennai, Manila and Krakow. Even Glasgow FO center was shut, likely getting too high cost for the shared service center model to work. Change in CEO every 4 years means a change in strategy, which looks like more the flavor of the day rather than adding real value. Almost constant re organizations. Stack ranking against peers. Only high-potential folks get to choose assignments, especially now when there are more internal candidates looking to switch roles than there are roles available.

      Business Analyst - Bangalore

      Business analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Attractive Pay 2. Good Colleagues 3. Benefits comparatively better than the regular services organisation 4. Work Life Balance

      Cons

      1. Too process oriented, a simple implementation might take ages to implement 2. Slow transition, adoption of a new technology will take a lot of time, should be fast tracked 3. Restricted Opportunity to Learn, you need to keep digging in for work, if you are ambitious and eager to do quality work 4. No Travel (though this is something that will be shared with you while joining)
