Pros

Really great culture. Really great people. Definitely a company for people who are looking to stay in a company for the rest of their lives.

Cons

Progression is relatively slow because of the laid-back nature of the organization. If you're not looking to settle in a company, then this place is not for you.

Pros

1. Interesting and innovative 2. Flexible work options 3. Coworkers are nice. 4. Coworkers are smart. 5. Lots of opportunities to train and improve skills. 6. Corporate is open about issues that surround the company (i.e. financials, etc). There's a lot of really good stuff going on at Shell.

Cons

Commute times can be really long. As far as I can tell, you have to be in your role for 5 years before you can apply to another role in the company.

Pros

If you can become a high performer you are promised with really awesome work that is challenging and can be very creative. Shell has a tremendous amount of opportunities and can take you anywhere in the globe. The culture is very much based on "influencing" rather than "dictating" which can be a pro if you are good at influencing especially without formal authority. An employee can influence projects and work that provide significant value to the energy industry. Compensation is very competetive. Many people have 9/80 so every other friday off is a huge benifit. It is a very diverse & inclusive environment which is great.

Cons

Influencing can also mean that some work can be pushed down that may not make the greatest sense and can make it slow to get things done. During downtime it can be very bad environment with too many decisions of letting people go that should not have been.
