Pros

Shell has great benefits -- espcially the their pension plan. The work is very challenging. There's a lot of very sharp professional employees who have a solid background in the E&P business.

Cons

But the problem is that there is too much work. I literally worked about 7 days a week 10-12 hours a day. I found out this was a common occurance no matter area you worked. After I left the company, I found out Shell had a reputation as being a "sweat shop."

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.
