Pros

great pay, great learning opportunities.

Cons

After Royal Dutch Shell takeover, things took a negative turn if you were a simple employee. You no longer could be heard and share holder value was the be all and end all. Many great and many incompetent manager. Work load so daunting that good managers could not get involved to fix big problems.
