      Pros

      If you're an engineer, you can be CEO one day. Flexible work for some roles. Salary is very good. Benefits are adequate. Multiple locations throughout the globe.

      Cons

      If you're not an engineer you'll be overlooked. Performance reviews are extremely biased towards those that are in the right role at the right time. I saved the site over $3,000,000 last year and that wasn't enough for anything more than an average performance review. Had I been and engineer, I would probably have been promoted and given a huge bonus. GE invented the performance review process Shell uses and recently GE gave up on it because it doesn't work. What does that say? It's not a bad place to work, you just have to want to play the corporate game.

      Pros

      Early career engineers are given significant ownership and exposure to complex operational challenges. Strong focus on safety, technical development, and collaboration across disciplines. Opportunities to work on high-impact projects, interact with senior leadership, and contribute to decisions affecting major assets and infrastructure.

      Cons

      Workloads can be demanding, and priorities can shift quickly based on operational needs. Decision-making processes can be slow due to organizational complexity, and geographic mobility may be necessary for certain career opportunities.
