Pros

1. One of the best known brands in the world. One of the very few company logos in the world which does not need the company name to identify itself 2. Great compensation and benefits package 3. A culture built on respect for people 4. International job assignments - a Shell career is a life journey in itself

Cons

1. As with most large corporations, there is an element of bureaucracy 2. Some departments are quite traditional dominated by old veterans 3. Employees are not pushed to grow, Shell is like a maze with so many career tracks - one has to seek out his/her own growth path - really think about it and follow with action

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.
