Pros
Shell is one of the best global Energy companies to work for, in terms of remuneration, benefits, and overall culture (historically). Work life balance is great and people are mostly friendly and passionate about what they do.
Cons
Current company trajectory (in Brisbane) from a culture perspective is becoming toxic by the day, with constant reorgs and roles not being backfilled, making the organization very bottom heavy. This has left a gap in opportunities for people to grow into. Purely gender based appointments are also increasing regardless of merit. This make it unfair for the other truly inspirational female leaders the business has, who have truly worked their way up. 75% of the current year graduate intake have been consciously chosen to be females regardless of merit, to give an example, to meet gender ratio targets. Organizational leadership is also currently very secretive and poor, with a great country leadership surrounded by "Yes" people, shielding them from the reality just a few levels below. Opportunity to grow are almost non existent, due to opportunities being filled by people parachuted for the previously mentioned reason. For the first time in many years/ decades, Shell staff are resigning (not redundancy) which indicates the culture shift.
