Pros

The total benefits package is nice- pension, 401k giving vs. matching, partnerships with leading healthcare providers. The caliber of most people is top-notch, and safety is not a catch phrase- it is truly ingrained in every aspect of work.

Cons

Decisions are made very slowly due to the consensus building required. The result is lots of time planning, and less time executing. Shell takes a very elitist approach to Talent Management, and can be very opaque about decisions made.

Pros

Virtual enviroment, freedom to work indipendatly, global company with a lot of class of buisnesses, which contribute to career development across the world

Cons

A lot of processes and policies, which sometime make marketing more process driven, but not customer driven. Often restructuring the company with prime objective to optimize the costs, but not to deliber growth of business

Pros

Collaborative/team environment, friendly work culture, excellent salary and benefits, work-life balance (9/80 work schedule), training opportunities

Cons

Can be bureaucratic and political at times, coaching for training and career planning could have been better, during (and after) my tenure there was a lot of movement out of downstream into upstream, which could be a sign of either low morale or poor career opportunities compared to other parts of the business
