Pros

It's a Multinational and Multicultural company. You get great compensation. Career development opportunities are provided and you get to work with great people. Also you enjoy international travel opportunities

Cons

Not many. Shell is a great company to work for! Sometimes decisions take a longer time to reach because of collaboration and inclusiveness of ideas of a wide group of stakeholders

Pros

Decent work/life balance. Pension plan pretty good. Average health/dental benefits.

Cons

Lower wage than other oil & gas companies. Took management months to make decisions. Company has bad habit of hiring people who are not a good fit. Company relies too much on contractors to carry out tasks that should be done by employees. No opportunities for advancement if you are not an engineer.

Pros

Interns are given a project to work on with specific deliverables, ensuring you are given meaniingful work. The work culture is relaxed and inclusive and I was only ever treated as a valued member of the team. There are a number of develpoment opportunities (Shell has its own database of courses) to take advantage of, and I was fortunate enough to travel to Europe as part of my internship. A successful iinternship leads to being offered a place on the graduate scheme.

Cons

Things can often move quite slowly. New ideas are welcomed but it can take an awfully long time for such things to come to fruition. An extensive array of opinions are sought on most activities. On the one hand this avoids mistakes being made, but it can become quite frustrating.
