Pros

With awesome safety and health culture, in fact, safety is the company's number one priority -- you don't need to go to work if there's perceived danger. In terms of health, the company and the leadership teams are very committed -- you wil be sent to the clinic or home if they see that you're not feeling well; Provides shuttle service for midshifters; Recognizes diversity and values inclusiveness; Speaking up your mind is encouraged; Not strict, with free wifi and you can use your phones even during working hours; Too many materials and courses that staff can browse and enroll to for free to develop skills relevant to their roles; Provides recreational facilities i.e. billiards, videoke, gym, sleeping lounge etc.; Management is very committed to ensuring a work-life-balance among staff Competitive salary; Overall, friendly working environment

Cons

Too many meetings during the day; Shuttles for midshifters are on first-come-first-serve basis (but staff can reimburse taxi expense); One of Shell's core values 'Respect for People' is sometimes ignored by few staff; Graduate Hires are more favored by the managent in terms of promotion (but G-hires are really doing great and most of them are really capable of and with great potential; but those who are more tenured and also capable lose their chance for promotion)

Pros

People-focused culture which lead to good work life balance for a top-tier company and many development opportunities. Competitive compensation on a global level.

Cons

Streamlining and standardizing processes across global businesses can lead to difficulty in implementing certain aspects of your work because of inherent differences in the different countries/locations.
