Pros

If you career is going nowhere and you need good money for doing nothing then this is the best place. If you are a yes man never oppose to anything are manupulative highly political with an agenda...boy you have a great career at shell

Cons

This is a company for and run by graduates. Now graduates are species that are born in shell and die in shell ,because nobody outside takes them. If you are capable then please dont stay here for long else u will rust. Here they have copied all the nice things from other companies like "feel free to speak your mind" but if you do you will be tortured. Because the company runs on the philosophy steal with pride which means if you are an innovator they will steal your idea and dump you in garbage. Beacuse people have stayed here for so long they have no idea about ways of working in the market that even when senior people from outside are hired thier thinking ability is killed. Infact the company is struggling to implement workday its been years and leaders only extend deadline. I guess workday should publish a case study on shell for how long it is taking and there are many examples. The europeans treat employees like slaves ..they do this very smartly...so your existance in shell depends on your counties passport...lol. Oh my god ..i spend some of the worst years of my career here thank god i am out of this silent hell called shell.

Pros

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.
