      Pros

      A really great company with excellent training for their employees. Open and transparent in most cases and value staff to be open with them. Shell also has a great internal open recruitment system.

      Cons

      A huge company with a global presence, but despite really trying to be fully inclusive with employees and making you feel as though you are part of a large family, at the end of the day you really are just a cog in a big wheel.

      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.

      Good initial exposure but tied-down by bureaucracy

      Pros

      Good initial exposure to real life business environments, with the right coaching can gain skills rapidly, work flexibility, excellent coaches/mentors (you'll need to find them)

      Cons

      Tied down by bureaucratic red tape (you'll spend more time engaging/aligining internally when working on an externally-faced project), people working in silos, strategic vision is lacking at management level, HR restrictions on expatriate/foreign postings, tolerates underperformance
