Pros

Great opportunity to work in various locations / cultures. Shell offers average compensation, compared to the other "majors" but definitely has the leg up on benefits.

Cons

Like most large multinationals Shell can, at sometimes, move slowly. This is something that's being worked on with the current reorganizations.

Pros

It has a myriad of businesses where you can learn. It also has pockets of competent managers that make the jobs interesting and meaningful. The pay is also good.

Cons

Working of projects, I felt that a lot of the things we were doing were inconsequential, almost meaningless. Some folks are far more interested in keeping their jobs and preserving the status quo rather than doing valuable work. The culture is very male, very white, and if you are not golfing with the inner circle, you will not move upwards anytime soon.

Benefits and good employee perks such as office parties, good location of the office and very easy commute on a daily basis

Cons

Working with the client base was not the most enjoyable experience. Company policy sometimes at odds with dealer wants and needs.
