Pros

It's great to work for a leader in the industry and be at the head of all things science and technology related. You can't beat being globally recognized and having a variety of great benefits.

Cons

Can be bureaucratic and hard to deal with difficult personalities at time but that comes up in any company.

Pros

Opportunities for overseas assignments. Pay is good, benefits really good. You can determine your own career path by choosing your next assignments. Shell E&P has every other Friday off. The development program for college grads is good. A variety of assignments the first couple of years exposes the employee to different areas of the company giving them insight into what area they want to move to next.

Cons

Some departments have workloads with too few employees to meet those deadlines within reasonable work hours. The pay is not in the top but packaged with the benefits it balances out.
