Pros

Shell's business activities are very interesting, it has an open culture, the compensation in the Netherlands is above average, the people that work at Shell are very smart

Cons

Shell is overly complex, leading to lack of understanding in the organisation of how things work, Shell is very risk averse and lacks a commercial mindset, Shell has difficulty providing the right opportunities to it's talented employees which leaves many people frustrated.

Pros

Used to have great leaders, a great culture and was a learning institution

Cons

The dynamics of operating have localized, its become like any "saith " organization. Its a one man show to be honest and the only routet to success now is to wine and dine with the key stakeholders

Fantastic Culture and Focus on People

Pros

I worked for Shell for 7 years and then went to another oil major. It's culture, pay, benefits and focus on people is what I loved most about my time there. Diversity and inclusion was far more mature than most corporations.

Cons

My last role was challenging as I tried to balance the birth of my first child. I left for better more progressive "parent" benefits like on site day care and less travel.
