      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Atmosphere of equality, respect, general awareness to diversity and inclusiveness. The company is also very particular about work life balance and does not restrict the employees wanting to take time-off.

      Cons

      Slow decision making. Making change happen can be difficult. Difficult to pursue dynamic or fast paced ambitions. Someimes gives a government company feel with the lack if speed and accountability.

      Finance at Shell

      Financial analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Shell is a very people-centric company with a global vision. It offers so many various classes of business with so many areas of expertise, you really can do anything in a company this size. Left to your own ambition, there really is a sense of taking a hold of your own future. Work life balance, compensation, and diversity are all top notch.

      Cons

      Lots of beauracracy , to be expected in a company of this size. Because of the varied departments and plethora of roles, responsibilites, and diversity of customers, every role is a little different so in that sense it can be a grab bag at times. Companies this big can be very political. Learning opportunities sometimes more specialized compared to a smaller company.

      No respect for people

      Pros

      - Shell is recognized as a leader in the oil sector, so it will look very good in your Resume - It's a great place to get experience - Good place to get training - Treats well Dutch and British citizens, so if you're one of them, go for it

      Cons

      - Shell has as their core values: Integrity, Honesty and Respect for People; and they break all of them in the course of doing business, as long as it's suitable for management to do so. They cut costs at the employee's benefit package expense, for instance. That's not "respect for people" - Very clear distinction between Dutch/British and other nationalities, more so than in other companies I've worked or know about
