      Shell business service center krakow - be ready to work in a godforsaken ğlace

      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

      Pros

      Their benefits are really good if you've worked there a long time. The work is ok, and the salary is competitive. Everyone does their own little part. Sometimes you get to do different types of work because they have offshored some jobs(and that never works out because of time zone issues, communication issues, etc). Shell cares more about safety/training/compliance than anything else(especially making money).

      Cons

      It's very bureaucratic. If the benefits are the one of the biggest pros, it doesn't say much about Shell. You'll never feel empowered to do much because you'll be restricted by 20 other departments, half of which have been outsourced. It's not a good place unless you're an engineer. Everything else is getting offshored, outsourced or eliminated.
