Pros

Shell's business activities are very interesting, it has an open culture, the compensation in the Netherlands is above average, the people that work at Shell are very smart

Cons

Shell is overly complex, leading to lack of understanding in the organisation of how things work, Shell is very risk averse and lacks a commercial mindset, Shell has difficulty providing the right opportunities to it's talented employees which leaves many people frustrated.

Pros

Great long term benefits, great people to be around. Lots of various groups to move around to once your window is open. Work life balance is ok depending on the job.

Cons

Career advancement is managed by incompetent HR and management, company is rudderless, company politics have taken over. Poor stock performance affects bonuses.
