Pros

Only Work life in some project.

Cons

Before joining ask below mention points to any college/unknown who is working in shell 1. Salary component is Half of Market value. 2. No increments they will multiple your hardwork with business factor. and business factor will always be 0. 3. They will give 33% variable of Basic, and at the end it will be 0.(If your basic is 6L then variable is 2L and finally they will company is in loss so it will be 0 for all) 4. They will give promotion after completing 4 year in shell. 5. No motivation, all employees are begging for promotion. 6. only selected employees will get hike and promoted.(2% of total staff) 7. no growth join at X package after 4 year you will have X+2. 8. Medical policy is worst, for 1L coverage you have to pay 20k. 9. Every year they will run one event to stop all promotions (reshape, resize, restructure, reorganization ). 10. Indian service based will pay more then shell( infosys, TCS ,Accenture, Deloitte). 11. learning is very slow, they will yearly GPA and IDP program just for showcase. 12. If you ask anything from Manager, they will say for HR and HR will tell manager. 13. No budget for party and goodies management does not have budget to pay single T-shirt or any goodies. 14 . Every guy is looking to switch from Shell all got bored.
