Pros

Working with great people, well lead company and a very competitive salary and secondary benefits.

Cons

Work life balance can be impacted, but that depends more on the function. Further international career opportunities are reducing and if based in NL, the very high tax rate.

Pros

Many different projects to work on. Diverse, inclusive work force. Good team work. Management is very accessible to new ideas to improve business. Key focus in health, safety, integrity. Opportunities to work around the global. Career progression is based on Capacity, Achievement and Performance.

Cons

Large organisation with many processes. Speed of decision making sometimes is slow - though there are examples that when required, it will be fast.

Pros

Shell Retail has a fantastic EVP in Istvan Kapitany, Shell has been a fantastic company to work for which has provided a wealth of experience and personal development. Enormous Change and Transformation journey still continues with the change in footprint and offshoring. If you are lucky enough to be based in any of the hub locations like London City/Canary Wharf in UK you probably will find career opportunities. Shift to recruiting Graduates in last 12+ months.

Cons

Change/Transformation journey sees perhaps too many knowledgeable resource leaving at same time, that perhaps may leave challenges on table for those starting up or those who remain. Virtual working has/is being removed so office locations only in the future.
