Pros

Good compensation when the SBO was starting, now they have reduced the budget Relaxed work which is expected in a captive Office Transport

Cons

Really needs to grow as a IT organization There are no Shell brand benefits which is expected from a captive organization Recruitment has to be streamlined properly, you need to value the peoples experience and give the designation based on that. Many of the Senior leadership is Bengaluru are given roles without those experience and that is really showing in the poor decisions made. Pay package is not tax friendly and you end up paying a lot of tax.
