Pros

Pay and pension, remote working. People do not really come to the office much any more.

Cons

With Wael taking charge, it has been a rapid downward journey. Shell is hard driven towards maximising shareholder value at the expense of everything and everyone - targeting very short term objectives. - culture and ethics in ruin - mediocre people hold tight to their seats while able and bright leave - continued shrinking pools of skilled and qualified professionals - continuous re-orgs - no initiative, no modernisation, people too afraid to upset anyone and risk their roles - everything what can be stopped is stopped, what can’t be stopped is switched to just keeping the lights on
