Shell is all about "politics, poor leadership, and instability"!

Pros

Money is the only motivation!

Cons

1. Workplace Politics: Internal politics often overshadow meritocracy, with favoritism and alliances influencing key decisions, promotions, and assignments. 2. Management Challenges: Most managers and so called 'leaders' lack the vision or skills to effectively lead their teams, resulting in micromanagement, unclear priorities, and low morale. 3. Leadership Gaps in India: The current global leadership and India leadership team is often disconnected from ground realities, leading to poorly informed strategies, inconsistent priorities, and a lack of focus on employee well-being. 4. Questionable Promotion Practices: Women leaders are promoted to meet quotas despite lacking the necessary expertise. This undermines team confidence and decision-making quality. 5. Frequent Restructuring and Layoffs: A lack of clear long-term vision has led to frequent organizational restructures and layoffs, creating uncertainty and instability among employees. 6. Limited Career Progression: Growth opportunities are often tied to internal networks rather than merit or performance, leaving many talented individuals feeling undervalued and demotivated.

Pros

good work conditions and decent benefits though falling behind best in class companies.

Cons

Boxed-in roles and little room for career progression. The employee brand rings false. Increasingly, management sees the workforce as highly replaceable. Learning opportunities are stunted, and middle management prone to favourites and saving their own skin.

Pros

Overall benefits are better than other companies. For example on total leaves, HMO MBL, and shuttle services for mid and night shift. Focus on DE&I and safety as part of its core focus though this may come as hypocritical in real life application (see cons)

Cons

Bad management and some leaders do not walk the talk. Constant reorganization some are more disrespectfully than others.
