Pros

Always treated with respect and given a voice - never came across any bullying or harassment and very embracing of cultural differences Great opportunities especially if willing to relocate and move around. Great support in this if this was your choice too.

Cons

Can be a little slow in decision making sometimes - needs to lose the lumbering giant model and be a bit more fleet of foot.

Pros

Great training available, great collaboration tools to use. If you are open and good at networking, you will have lots of good opportunities

Cons

As with any company, Shell will hold on to jobs that support its core competencies during lean times, so if you are not in that type of skill set, you will be challenged staying, even if you had good reviews.

Pros

1)Incredibly diverse workforce creates an interesting and unique work environment. 2)encourages employees to give back to the local communities via volunteer work 3)upper management communicates regularly to the general employee workforce

Cons

This company is over-burdened by "process" and general overhead in comparison to actual work. It really over-burdens the staff. I spend 90% of my time dealing with "process" as opposed to real work. When i started work with this company in year 2000, it was 90% work and 10% process. Over the years the trend reversed to the point where "process" greatly exceeds work. I am paid as a glorified Admin assistant instead of an IT professional. I am part of the Shell Trading organization. Trading is essentially a Financial Services organization with different requirements and needs from the parent company. Unfortunately, Shell treats the Trading division just like the rest of the oil company. Shell applies a "one size fits all" methodology to all the business units.
