Really great

Pros

Shell offers great stability and job security. The pay seems to be a bit above industry average. The people culture are great. It doesn't hurt being in the 4th largest city! Tons of career path mobility working at a big company.

Cons

It is very difficult to get decisions made, and there are people in some mid-senior level positions that should just go. There is definitely some cronyism and the feeling of an "old boys club" at times.

Pros

Shell offers continued learning to it's staff, some is mandatory, while the other opportunities are not. A definite bonus to enhance your skills.

Cons

Though the company markets that it's success is due to it's people, who are their first priority; this is simply lip service. Shell only cares about the bottom line.

Pros

lots of training, people are nice, lots of opportunities

Cons

internal software is frustrating, company is too big to make improvements and senior people say they support you and go talk to X, Y, and Z. Then X, Y, and Z will say "that's a good idea, it's important, I understand, but it's low priority". Even if it can save them millions.
