Pros

I worked at Shell for 10 years. The company truly values its employees and is committed to work/life balance. Employees are encouraged to take training classes (paid) on a number of subjects, even if the subject matter was not directly associated with you current position. The goal of training is to develop you as a person, make you a stronger employee and enable you to continue to move up in the company. Because there are so many divisions within Shell, I was able to work in organizations dedicated to training, chemical sales, retail station management and many others. This was wonderful exposure to a number of areas of expertise and a multitude of opportunities.

Cons

Multiple levels of bureaucracy make it difficult to get anything done quickly.

Pros

Great pay, great benefits, highly motivated and career driven employees, nice, clean, secure campus. generous amount of vacation given upon hiring, being a European Company the work pace slows to "normal" during August and December. For degreed professionals you can be promoted within two years of being hired. If you enjoy a liberal, unstructured work environment - you will thrive at Shell.

Cons

Unstructured, constantly changing. Highly motivated and career driven employees - often apply for jobs so they can "travel the world" on Shell's dime. Vacation time and the every other Friday off is a joke. Employees are shuffled so rapidly that it is difficult to keep up with "who" has "what" job. I can't stress enough the high volume of emails that come in 24/7. Employees are so stressed they feel they need to work 24/7 to keep up. Dead end jobs for admins with only lateral moves available.
