Pros

Salaries at Shell are great and the benefits are competitive in the industry. Offices in Houston are very nice and modern. Great bonus program!

Cons

Offices are open concept cubicles for all but the most senior leaders (top 0.5%). If you are a white male, your advancement will be severely limited due to the HR policies that are supposed to promote more females and minorities. Most males will top out at JG3 because of the extra efforts required in the name of diversity. This has resulted in many middle managers being in over their head and this will ultimately lead to serious failure(s) at some point.
