Pros

Has great work life balance, amazing brand presence, safety and security are paramount, pays well and has good HR policies.

Cons

CEO is following the 'Elon Musk' trend, wherein they feel less people is better, so job security which used to be big in Shell has now been binned, it's not even perform or perish, it's just you survive if you are lucky, if your business division makes sense in the short/medium term and there is nothing you as individual can do about it, even mid-level management is helpless and live constant fear of 'who next' faces the axe.

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.
