      Pros

      Benefits, pay, company moving to environmentally better business.

      Cons

      Middle management is poor at their job. The don't walk the talk on DEI. They hire diverse but do not promote. They say they care about their people, but treat them the opposite.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits, Salary, Senior Leaders, and Facilities. Like most Oil and Gas companies, Shell pays well and has good benefits.

      Cons

      Woke Ideology, HR, Middle Management, and Graduate Program. HR is not straightforward with Graduate hires in terms of career progression and expectations. Too much focus on Woke ideology and conformity in the workplace.

      OK, but company outlook is grim and growth opportunities are limited

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Pay is well and beats competitors in similar industry. - Before Convent personnel joined, culture was friendly. - 9/80 flex schedule.

      Cons

      - Culture is starting to become harsh and toxic. Convent culture is polluting the leadership team. - Growth opportunities are limited. Once upon a time there were plenty of growth opportunities across the Shell businesses. Now its non-existent. Manufacturing employees are seen as black sheep of Shell business. - Leadership does not practice what is preached. - Company politics involved with personnel moves and promotions. - Terrible reliability and operational performance that metrics are hiding. - Over worked Engineers nights and weekends for areas they do not support. - No focus on career path. Development plan is a paper work exercise for managers.
