Pros

a. Nice company cultures. Most people are very helpful and professional. b. Good salary and benefits in general but not competitive to the IT companies anymore c. Development opportunities if you are in a good team d. Your work-life-balance is fully respected and managers are very people oriented

Cons

a. too many shell lifers! By "Shell lifers" it means people who start their first job as a graduate in SHELL and then worked all the way through their entire career. The entire knowledge set is very shell and very soon it makes you feel that it is the only way to do things. b. too much nonsense and "engagements". It was encouraged to get to know people within the organization and talk about projects that they are working on. It is nice exposure but seriously it is not fun when you feel the peer pressure to do so to increase your "visibility". c. shell people survey is a joke. Some leaders get very low scores in SPS but they got promoted anyway. So unfair to those who have high SPS scores.
