      Pros

      Very inclusive atmosphere. Everyone in group enjoys the job they are doing. Generally considerate management. Ethics and safety are heavily emphasized. Endless opportunities and encouragement to learn new things.

      Cons

      Sometimes being too scientific rather than engineering thinking slows down decision making. Little training or opportunity for learning management or leadership skills, even though supposedly available..

      Pros

      Opportunity to be a part of an innovative company and the forefront of the global energy industry. Opportunity to work across the world and work with people from all over the world in a diverse work environment. Opportunity to work with some of the greatest minds and most talented individuals in the industry. Great benefits.

      Cons

      Somewhat slow in reaction to the market. Some parts of the organization can feel rather disorganized. Lack of accountability. Employee performance review lean towards presentation as opposed to tangible results.

      I was a paralegal in Shell Oil Company's legal department.

      Pros

      The work in the legal department was challenging and my co-workers were bright, enthusiastic people, so the work atmosphere was enjoyable. I appreciated the fact that while people worked hard at their jobs, they also took part in the many volunteer opportunities which Shell sponsored, giving back to the communities where Shell operated.

      Cons

      Job advancement opportunities could be limited for certain job grades.
