Pros

Work pressure is less compared to service companies and people talk with respect with one another. You can clearly make out the difference once you start working for Shell. You will feel and ease and enjoy a good work life balance. Safety is given at most priority.

Cons

There is lot of office politics and favoritism. One needs to have at least two senior people with influence for support, to get ahead in the company. even to get a promotion. Networking is very important.

Pros

There are many diverse roles and opportunities within the company, which can make it easier to explore different career paths and avoid feeling stuck or bored.

Cons

Company lacks clear direction and has significant internal disorganization. Employees are often expected to take on multiple roles without appropriate compensation or support. Despite consistently being a high performer, I left feeling undervalued — after covering two roles, there wasn’t even a simple thank you upon departure. To make matters worse, eight months after leaving, they are now claiming I owe over $5,000 in PTO that had previously been considered settled at the time of my exit. Overall, the experience left a very negative impression and highlighted serious internal process issues.
