Pros

Great pay, great benefits, highly motivated and career driven employees, nice, clean, secure campus. generous amount of vacation given upon hiring, being a European Company the work pace slows to "normal" during August and December. For degreed professionals you can be promoted within two years of being hired. If you enjoy a liberal, unstructured work environment - you will thrive at Shell.

Cons

Unstructured, constantly changing. Highly motivated and career driven employees - often apply for jobs so they can "travel the world" on Shell's dime. Vacation time and the every other Friday off is a joke. Employees are shuffled so rapidly that it is difficult to keep up with "who" has "what" job. I can't stress enough the high volume of emails that come in 24/7. Employees are so stressed they feel they need to work 24/7 to keep up. Dead end jobs for admins with only lateral moves available.
