1. Care is primary at Shell. Shell takes very good care of its employees.
2. Development is given a priority with exceptions courses and programmes.
3. Compensation is median, when compared to other top-employers.
Cons
1. For those with an enterprising approach to work, things move slowly
2. Can be penny-wise and pound foolish - can end up buying armchairs worth someone's annual salary, but then can end up being stingy about performance bonuses.
