Pros

Great culture with strong emphasis on innovation and forward thinking. Management really helps lower levels with their work and everyone chips in making it a real group effort

Cons

stagnant career paths at times people don't seem to recognize true talent when they see it; low entry level pay is somewhat of a dealbreaker for smart kids trying to get in

Pros

Safety is their top priority. Great learning environment. Shell employs world-class technical people. Pay and benefits are well above industry average. Opportunity to travel and visit Shell operations around the world is beneficial.

Cons

Royal Dutch Shell is a group of companies and so, sometimes individual company "cultural norms" get in the way of a common RDS vision. Shell is a matrix organization, however, at times it lacks an ability to truly prioritize project work because of multiple inputs into the process. Consequently, everything becomes a priority which means nothing is a priority.

Pros

Great Benefits. Huge variety of roles within geology, easy to broaden geological experience. Access to experts and technology. Good training program. Great people.

Cons

Bureaucracy. Hard to find resources because company's so big. Training program interferes with on the job time which can affect your performance reviews -- your supervisor doesn't care you were gone for two months because it was required.
