12 great yrs with Shell

Pros

Shell looks well after its staff. Attracts smart and well educated people. Very nice offices in The Hague (corp HQ) and Rijswijk (Upstream HQ) with free gym, in-house bank, hair dresser, Shell shop and great staff restaurant. Always travelled bz class and stayed in 4*+ hotels on intercontinental trips. If you are lucky to get selected, you can get into a long term career system that promotes you at each job change (4 yrs)

Cons

If you're interested into advancing your career, make sure to join the selected bunch (in Shell terms: L/C or SE potential). Slow decision making and bureaucratic organization. So better not rock the boat, unless the CEO asks you to. Anglo-Dutch style of management and culture.
