Pros

Well compensated in terms of salary. Technology driven company in terms of downstream (chemical manufacturing). The company has a good reputation and global opportunities for advancment. Shell is positioned as a leader in the chemical industry therefore you will a stable career path.

Cons

Not much feedback concerning performance - Closed off culture - not much communications - There mentoring program of new hires is far below average. It was a good experience however I would not return, it was not a friendly, family atmosphere.The engineers tend to stay closed off from other personnel which creates a lack of communication in solving problems.

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.
