Pros

+ Company looks great on your CV + Job will force you to learn quickly and think on your feet + Huge challenge ...... if you can call it that!

Cons

- Many important Finance functions have been off-shored which limits control - Finance is not embedded with business so people have poor visibility of actuals. - Massive turnover rate of finance personnel in Philippines, India and Poland so little knowledge there is, is retained. - Multiple finance systems across multiple companies within Shell create inherent inefficiencies and complexities when accounting and trading, - Finance staff within the America's and Europe have the type of skills and experience needed to understand or use the finance systems effectively.
