      It can be hectic at times but always something new to work on.

      Pros

      The benefits are on par with other companies of this size. Performance is rewarded and there are constant opportunities to expand and grow. Management is transparent and open to new ideas.

      Cons

      As a typical large company they are slow to change and frequently rehash/rename old programs that didn't work the first time around.

      Pros

      Its a good solid company with strong processes and benefits. There is great opportunity for growth, but ONLY if you are good at networking and perception management. Global movements and across function movements are possible. Excellent for graduate hires in terms of experience exposure and opportunities given.

      Cons

      Extremely political - networks matter more than performance and capability, so it doesn't matter what you can do as much as whether you know who is who and play golf with them. No natural progression at all. You could suddenly find yourself out of job if you don't find a suitable next role... Each role is tied up for 4 years for experienced hires Manager is everything so need to be very careful while selecting a role... Mistakes as a company get repeated since people move roles across anywhere and everywhere without really developing any expertise.. although this is also a BIG BIG plus for employees to jump across functions.. Most people in the company are graduate hires so spend their LIFE in the company only.. as a result not much corporate knowledge of world outside the company Work life balance is over played, and even women friendly benefits post maternity etc are largely dependent on

      Pros

      Shell provides good training options for its employees. You can grow into this organization and have the ability to move around. global placements are also possible.

      Cons

      lots of red tape and bureaucracy. Some of its internal processes need work and they need to mainstream their process
