Pros

Good focus on research and development, willing to take risks, trim unnecessary processes, and can be very transparent. Strong technical people. Flexible work schedules.

Cons

Commercial decision making process needs work. Fail to follow structured Gate System and mega projects are all over budget and off schedule. Highly nepotistic and HR system is fundamentally corrupt. Difficult to have a conversation about sticky issues without being retaliated against. Ethics group also corrupt.

Pros

Interesting projects are available, if you're buddies with right people. Everything is very early stage development, so there's no real accountability for failure. It's not a bad deal, really.

Cons

If you want to accomplish anything of any real meaning, you will be sorely disappointed. The company is 99% about making Shell look innovative and 1% about anything of substance. It's embarrassing.
