Pros

Interesting projects are available, if you're buddies with right people. Everything is very early stage development, so there's no real accountability for failure. It's not a bad deal, really.

Cons

If you want to accomplish anything of any real meaning, you will be sorely disappointed. The company is 99% about making Shell look innovative and 1% about anything of substance. It's embarrassing.

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.
