Pros

Great pay, benefits, and job security Huge projects, virtually unlimited opportunities

Cons

Processes, processes, processes. Creative thinking is encouraged, but must be done within the infinite bounds of processes Career progression is somewhat passive aggressive. Everyone wears a smile, but some are dubious. Compared to Exxon’s more “aggressive” career progression

Shell is a wonderful company to work for. They truly support your continued development and many employees have been here for 20+ years. The work culture is one that provides a feeling of true psychological safety.

Cons

There are lots of meetings.
