Pros

work/life balance; salary; good package (not in my case)

Cons

I was not satisfied with the management - not using capabilities of people, and not so open; low level of support, especially HR & IT; slow organisation; management decisions are sometimes confusing and not always clear.

Pros

Shell offers great salary and benefits, especially if you are an expat. Opportunity to work abroad in early career. If you think the Oil Field is a harsh place think again. Shell professionals are treated like kings in the field.

Cons

Suffocating Bureaucracy. People hesitate to make decisions fearing to be held responsible for the consequences. So they always play it safe and take limited risk.
