Pros

Great pay and benefits, large company means lots of opportunities globally, emphasis on training and developing the individual, caring culture

Cons

Good ol' boy culture is still heavily ingrained - Fox news is played openly in a lot of offices, politics/networking is heavily emphasized, word spreads fast in a large company, management can sometimes be disconnected, lots of change and not all of it is good

Pros

Large, multi-discipline organization with a wide spectrum of R/D and engineering activities. Shell takes good care of its people. Great culture for safety and clean operations. Great social and environmental responsibility. Some people are quit bright.

Cons

Safety framework that is applicable to factory plants or drilling platforms should not apply to other parts of the organization. Innovation and people trying to innovate suffer painfully. Seniority is more often the most heavily weighing factor for performance and promotions. Strong resistance to changes even good changes are proposed.
