A century-old ompany that has a long-term view

Pros

The company values deep technical capabilities and innovative solutions, and also values the people who can build strong relationships. If you are good at one of them, you can work comfortably, and if you are good at both, you will thrive.

Cons

Similar to other energy companies the bottom line has a strong correlation with the external market volatility. Choosing to work here means living with volatility.

Pros

You can post for many different roles and are not limited to the type of role for which you originally got hired. She'll has a good education reimbursement program. Also will give you credit for purposes of vacation for previous applicable work experience so you may end up with 4 or 5 weeks of vacation.

Cons

Can be very demanding. Don't expect a 40 hour workweek if you want to get ahead. Can be tough to implement new and innovative ideas even though Shell encourages it.

Good company, less good during oil price declines

Pros

Good salary - pay is among the best you will find anywhere. Good working conditions - nice office facilities and grounds. Good coworkers as well.

Cons

Too many cutbacks when business conditions are challenged. This impacts employee morale too often and the company loses more than it saves from the cutback.
