Pros

Veel smart cookies die het bedrijf besturen. Ondanks alles maken we winst.

Cons

Relevantie van Shell in de energie markt : Shell is zoekende. Veel te veel senior & middle management (Matrix organi): het kan soms zomaar voorkomen dat er management banen zijn met dezelfde titel en scope; assurance paranoia. Veel mensen in hoge banen met disconnect naar het product. De laatse CEO (Voser) zegt "niet mergen" want dat is slecht. De huidige CEO (van Beurden) doet een merger. BG deal niet renegotiated na olie prijs terugval. Bedrijfstakken verkopen in een slechte markt om de gearing aan te pakken.

Pros

There are many diverse roles and opportunities within the company, which can make it easier to explore different career paths and avoid feeling stuck or bored.

Cons

Company lacks clear direction and has significant internal disorganization. Employees are often expected to take on multiple roles without appropriate compensation or support. Despite consistently being a high performer, I left feeling undervalued — after covering two roles, there wasn’t even a simple thank you upon departure. To make matters worse, eight months after leaving, they are now claiming I owe over $5,000 in PTO that had previously been considered settled at the time of my exit. Overall, the experience left a very negative impression and highlighted serious internal process issues.
