Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Shell full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Large company with potential to move to other positions and areas
Flexible working schedule. Still offer 9/80 (work 9 hours M-R, 8 hours every other Friday). Still offer flexible starting times.
People are nice and work in a team environment.
Still provide free coffee (regular and decaf)
Cafeteria has great foodCons
Shell continues to reorganize, eliminating high pay positions and putting more responsibility on lower grade levels. The department that I work in has reorganized every year for the past 3 years. There are now 54% less people and the majority left have less than 4 years experience.
Work/ Life balance is poor. Since there are less people, there is more overtime work. Folks are scared to provide honest feedback to management since they may be eliminated during the next reorganization.
Beware that there are some people who get away with back-stabbing to advance their careers. Everyone is ranked against each other for bonuses and advancement.Advice to Management
Eliminating people, especially the high paid experienced ones, does quickly reduce costs and increase the stock price. However, this is not a long-term sustainable strategy. Instead try eliminate unnecessary work and streamlining processes to get the most out of folks. Also, promote people based on their abilities and not their ethnicity or gender.
