      Overall, A good company to work for

      Pros

      Tons of opportunity for career growth, development, and networking on a local and global level. Many workers are smart, competent, professional, and willing to help new workers. Good compensation, benefits, and pay. Office environment and safety culture are very strong and positive, and it really make you feel more of an individual versus another employee in a big company. Work-life balance is promoted and encouraged.

      Cons

      There are times that the life portion in your work-life balance is expected to be sacrificed in order to deliver, especially at high level positions. IT services are atrocious. Red tape and bureaucracy can be much at times, especially when certain policies, processes, and philosophies are introduced or promoted with the hopes of conformity to new employers and people new to leadership roles.

      Pros

      The ability to work in global projects is a great part of working for Shell. Most managers support development opportunities and training.

      Cons

      Recent move to flexible workspace without assigned desks is demoralizing as staff no longer have the ability to personalize their work space. Many entry jobs have been moved to shared service centers overseas removing career progression. Multiple rounds of reorganization have people reapplying for their own jobs and wondering if the company cares about it's people.
