Pros

Base salary is a bit small, but the rest of the benefit package compensates for it. Very generous with the benefits, bonuses, and allowances. Employees are really supported by management and HR > stays true to their claim that Shell has an "employee-centric" work environment

Cons

Couldn't keep up with office politics. Really bad mob mentality sometimes, especially for larger teams. Big bosses are great, but mid managers are so-so and favoritism is apparent. Career progression is so slow (there would be colleagues that have been there for more than 5 years before getting promoted to the next job grade)
