Pros

Health (free annual exam with premium discounts, plus full coverage on cancer and cardiac-related illnesses) and relocation (sizeable lump sums with additional services) benefits are substantial. Pension is still available but the structure is not as good as it used to be. Various corporate discounts are available, particularly in Houston. Overall, a complex organization in a very complex industry that makes you appreciate the global drive for energy transition.

Cons

Salaries especially for JG5 and JG4 (ex: associate engineer and engineer, respectively) are falling behind greater industry standards. Management refuses to compare with talent outside of O&G, which happens to be where the best talent resides, while touting how much digitalization they want to achieve. It would take a minimum of 10 years to get to a competitive total compensation. We are losing young talent to tech where even remote pay will easily start 2 times higher than Shell's starting comp. People under 40 will leave for greener grass, creating a void of technical talent for years to come.
