Pros

great pay, great learning opportunities.

Cons

After Royal Dutch Shell takeover, things took a negative turn if you were a simple employee. You no longer could be heard and share holder value was the be all and end all. Many great and many incompetent manager. Work load so daunting that good managers could not get involved to fix big problems.

Early career engineers are given significant ownership and exposure to complex operational challenges. Strong focus on safety, technical development, and collaboration across disciplines. Opportunities to work on high-impact projects, interact with senior leadership, and contribute to decisions affecting major assets and infrastructure.

Cons

Workloads can be demanding, and priorities can shift quickly based on operational needs. Decision-making processes can be slow due to organizational complexity, and geographic mobility may be necessary for certain career opportunities.
