Pros

Opportunities for overseas assignments. Pay is good, benefits really good. You can determine your own career path by choosing your next assignments. Shell E&P has every other Friday off. The development program for college grads is good. A variety of assignments the first couple of years exposes the employee to different areas of the company giving them insight into what area they want to move to next.

Cons

Some departments have workloads with too few employees to meet those deadlines within reasonable work hours. The pay is not in the top but packaged with the benefits it balances out.
