Shell Software Engineer reviews

It is not the same Shell anymore, care for people is gone with new CEO stepping in. Ruthless job cuts, unplanned & unclear objectives and execution, Impacting lower job staff is not savings when senior leadership level hardly any changes are seen. Re-orgs keep happening every 2 or 3 years once and Mgmt. keeps shifting from old model to new model and vice versa

Reviews which do not fall under IT might be true, but when it comes to IT, Shell is no less than any other service based company. Most of the employees that were settled down here, earlier they used to work for shell account from Accenture/Wipro/IBM. Hence there is a preference for hikes & promotions to the people from the above companies. In the past few years a lot of people who used to work as contractors from those companies were made permanent employees. In some cases without any such visible requirement. This has resulted in unnecessary increase in headcount. Hence Global Leadership team decided to implement cost cutting in the name of Re-org. So Job security is the thing of past in Shell. Most of the managers or people in higher position will be from Accenture/IBM/Wipro, mostly Accenture. It can be termed as B team of Accenture. If you are about to join the company thinking that it is a product based company, you are under false impression.
