Overall a good company to work for

Pros

Benefits are one of the best parts about working for Shell. The people I worked with were laid back but serious when it came time to handle business.

Cons

Lots of gossip. There is a sense of favoritism. People that have family that has worked for or works for Shell seem to get favored for promotion. You can tell they start to groom them for roles that are about to become available. Then when the jobs get posted they already know who will be selected but encourage others to apply just to get enough applicants so HR can't say anything.

Pros

can't find any except for salary

Cons

very strict rules, TL's and coaches have no idea on the process, but will drive their will through for the better or the worse. Continuous improvement is being implemented the wrong way. HSSE is taken way to serious. everyone knows what to do in case of fire, and the biggest thing that you can hurt yourself on in desk job , is almost a papercut. very strict promotion policy, forget about promotion in the first 2 to 3 years, most people wait 5 to 6 years that i've spoken to.
