The Transformation Continues - the pathway isn't for me

Pros

Great opportunities in all parts of the organisation with variety such that moving within the businesses is like moving companies. Great stretch and whilst salary package is not what it used to be, is still above average.

Cons

Slow to make decisions despite a repeated desire to achieve this status. Recent transformation has stripped away all of the package benefits that differentiated Shell from others. Extremely short sighted in the loss of talent, knowledge and loyalty in recent strategic moves. Backward step in discouraging home working which has proven high performance related employees displaced. Leaders tend to pay lip service to values with no real action taken.

Pros

Support work life balance, good opportunities to experience different areas of tax. Great for your cv. Interesting array of work

Cons

Low oil price leads to uncertainty. Difficult to be promoted at higher levels. Too much bureaucracy. Human Resources seem to dictate far too much to the business.

Pros

It is a great company to work for. It provides international exposure and pays a very good salary including perks and bonuses.

Cons

There are a lot of processes. Its a big giant which walks very slowly. Having operations in 107 countries makes it really slow.
