Pros

- Some employees are truly wonderful and genuine people and coworkers can become like family. - Flexible hours, and 9/80s are hard to beat. - Great bonuses when business is performing well. - Lots of passion around D&I, great affinity groups. - As far as big players in the industry go, Shell does seem to be trying hard to transform itself and move towards being more environmentally-friendly.

Cons

- 5+ years ago Shell jobs were dynamic and fulfilling, but HR transformation has led to less exciting roles. Roles are challenging but mostly due to complicated stakeholder management. Now business partnering jobs will take much longer to reach unless you're identified as high potential. I think many other companies may also be headed in this direction unfortunately. - Work/life balance is promoted but going beyond is valued and recognized. That coupled with job insecurity due to frequent reorganization leads to lots of people getting burned out to avoid making mistakes or being laid off. It can also sometimes lead to people shifting responsibility/blame to other people or CoEs to save face.
