Pros

Cons
1. No Planing. They even know why they are hiring people 2. After joining they give work which is very different to previous experience, no matter how much experience you have. 3. Do not like to take suggestions, no matter how much your your idea is saving 4. Shell never value its employees, they are laying off employees with more then 30 years of experience (its more than my age) 5. Its addition performance pressure on employees in Bangalore as they expect same productivity same knowledge as employee with good experience they are laying off. 6. As employee specially in India, you cannot ask for a particular project, as you may have experience in working on it. 7. Employee Safety (also called as HSSE) has made a joke in India. Shell use HSSE as per management convenience 8. No flexibility, no work from home. So you can think of Work Life Balance. Specially in India, Employees has to work late hours with teams in Europe or US 9. Employees has to work late hours with teams in Europe or US, however there is restriction to travel. 10 If you are so misfortune that you have to travel there is no travel allowances. You will endup expenses in $ from your pocket. 11. CTC and hike from outside may look good, but they salary is structured in a way that you endup paying more tax returns. (I am getting less take home then my previous company) 12. They are not very certain what expertise they need. They give you work which is very different to you experience and expect you to be productive. If you dont, you will be confirmed. They have already asked 140 employee to leave. (140 /800 quite big number) There are many more...in short if you are in Bangalore ...DONT JOIN ...I am waiting to finish my first year, so I can leave.
