Pros

Competitive pay and emphasis on employee safety (especially the assistance provided during natural disasters which includes housing assistance, check-ins with managers, etc.).

Cons

Work/life balance depends on manager (mine is positive experience, but others not as much), international opportunities not as prevalent in downstream.

Great company to work for, goes above and beyond for it's employees. Good opportunities to move up and around within the company.

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.
