Pros

Good work life balance. Peers are intelligent and care about job, but not too intense. There are opportunities to switch roles every 2-5 years which makes the job more interesting.

Cons

There are more ambitious people with leadership potential who work for Shell than there are management positions, so someone who doesn't quite make a management role might not be satisfied with their job later down the line if they were hoping for a leadership role. While Shell does not squander all creativity, being a big oil company, they are fairly risk adverse, so there are not tons of opportunities to try out new technologies not already proven in the Shell system.

Pros

Salary was excellent. This is one of the few things that retains employees work for this global company.

Cons

Very poor corporate culture. Every employee know their exact retirement date. You are very aware that it is a foreign owned company.
