Pros

Opportunity to work in a high-tech environment with exposure to emerging technologies, social issues, and multiple cultures.

Cons

More of an investment bank than an oil company. Science and engineering are subordinated to financial wants. Training focussed on developing those who want to be a polished, powdered courtiers. Innovation and creative thinking encouraged so long as it conforms to a global standard that everyone agrees on, and fits within the bureaucracy. Recruit,recognize and promotes attractive,clever and tractable people. Actively discourages passionate, focussed problem solvers.

Pros

Leading brand, good references, might have a chance to transfer to local businesses after sometime

Cons

Sbsc krakow is perceived as an external entity by Shell HQ and other entities. So be ready to be treated as an outsourced call center from india. People who work there will amke your life harder and harde if you are good at your job amd ambitious because incapable managers dont like ambitious types and wont let you to strive in the company. I have seen many talented employees leaving this center and i was another one after 1 year. Managers lack talent management, they lack proffesionalism and entirely not aware how a multinational organization work. It is not a place for ambitious people
