Pros

Salary is on par with Oil & Gas industry Good for grads/ first job for the brand name.

Cons

- Big and mini reorg every other year: most people in there with long tenure are just waiting for a nice package (above mkt norms) - Tend to select those younger talent versus those with more experience. Ageism. Ask to see the avg age of the ppl leaving during Reshape versus those they selected. - They like their grads than experience hires. Esp those that fits their mould - Hire and fire quickly - Claim "show care" but very unauthentic: and wonders why their employer of choice score is lower than the other major oil. - Looks glam outside, good reputation but v political inside. - not good for experience hire, try only if u are jobless anyway
