      Pros

      Lots of opportunity for development - if you're self driven. Great for contractors

      Cons

      Somewhat archaic/legacy driven culture which requires a fit in or leave or become apathetic approach. I would be cautious about taking a permanent role here..

      Pros

      Wael, new CEO, is a sharp leader. He's practical and pragmatic, and will undoubtedly bring a lot of focus to the ranks.

      Cons

      Shell needs to evolve and change as it makes its into the 21st century. I believe it'll be around for a while as it'll play a critical role in the energy transition. The scale of that role highly depends on a few things: 1) cease juggling many things all at once (anecdote: you're required to have 8 goals a year), 2) strict financial discipline, many many projects have negative value and fuzzy strategic value at best.

      Pros

      - Genuine manager at least for me - Good work life balance - Good salary and bonus

      Cons

      - Due to thin segregation of duties, many stakeholders especially IT support. Kick you like a ball and many times no solution but eager to ask u to close the ticket. Need a one stop shop and more measurable metrics for IT. - Rather cold environment. Co-workers' respect for each other are not genuine but guided by company's value on respect. Appears friendly on the surface but badmouth behind one's back. - Overwhelming compliance courses to complete for new comers.
