Pros

Shell has an amazing culture of diversity & inclusion, safety and customer focus. Typically, the employees of Shell are it's best attribute. People generally care for each other and place priority on satisfying needs outside of business first.

Cons

Good luck being a forward think person with ambitious to drive real improvements. The glacial speed of internal processes will lead to a withdrawal of creativity. The company is all talk on driving simplicity and out of the box thinking. Pray to god you can find a job that sparks some passion or else you may be contemplating choosing boredom and a well paying salary or the chance of a fulfilled life elsewhere.
