Pros

Large, multi-discipline organization with a wide spectrum of R/D and engineering activities. Shell takes good care of its people. Great culture for safety and clean operations. Great social and environmental responsibility. Some people are quit bright.

Cons

Safety framework that is applicable to factory plants or drilling platforms should not apply to other parts of the organization. Innovation and people trying to innovate suffer painfully. Seniority is more often the most heavily weighing factor for performance and promotions. Strong resistance to changes even good changes are proposed.
