Pros

Employee value proposition - great salary and benefits Community - interact with some of the finest people in the world Adventure - depending on you and your expertise, there are opportunities to see the world.

Cons

After close to twenty years at the company, I thought that Shell played the long game in energy - delivering incredible cashflow from the markets of today while strategically investing in the opportunities of the next decade. I'm not sure that's the case anymore under current management. Shell has refocused on immediate shareholder return above all else - reducing investments in anything that is not as profitable as oil or gas or trading products today. I understand that shift from a financial perspective, but I expected more from what I thought was one of the most visionary companies in the world. That incorrect expectation is on me. I shouldn't have.

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.

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.
