Pros

You can post for many different roles and are not limited to the type of role for which you originally got hired. She'll has a good education reimbursement program. Also will give you credit for purposes of vacation for previous applicable work experience so you may end up with 4 or 5 weeks of vacation.

Cons

Can be very demanding. Don't expect a 40 hour workweek if you want to get ahead. Can be tough to implement new and innovative ideas even though Shell encourages it.

Not a stable company

Pros

Great benefits, diverse workforce, large organization with opportunities to move around.

Cons

Not stable, employees have to reapply every 4 years for positions within the company creating a situation were nepotism and favoritism comes before competence. Promotion within the company is highly geared towards nepotism (AKA Networking) and less of competence.
