Pros

Good compensation when the SBO was starting, now they have reduced the budget Relaxed work which is expected in a captive Office Transport

Cons

Really needs to grow as a IT organization There are no Shell brand benefits which is expected from a captive organization Recruitment has to be streamlined properly, you need to value the peoples experience and give the designation based on that. Many of the Senior leadership is Bengaluru are given roles without those experience and that is really showing in the poor decisions made. Pay package is not tax friendly and you end up paying a lot of tax.

Pros

Shell places an emphasis on diversity and inclusiveness making it a fun place to work. Shell does its best to follow its values and has high safety standards to make the workplace safe.

Cons

One of the downsides of this role in Shell is the lack of opportunity to grow and gain promotion within the organisation. Management aren't supportive to promote staff from this position to other departments

Pros

Good brand, Competitive salary, can't think anything else

Cons

Shell IT hub do not have any structure in hiring process. You can be hired at any job group/salary based on the position you have been interviewed. Within few weeks of joining you will find that half of your exp person is in same job group and may be same salary also. They don't care about your # yrs of exp, current designation, role etc. Most of the recruiters are contractors and they don't really care about your work or career. Management is also equally arrogant in ignoring people issues. In my 12 years of career with 2 MNC companies, have not seen such incompetent senior management but they are enjoying life as they fly business class, no accountability, just talking to impress NL bosses. The senior management people are hired through networking and they are only looking at their salary, survival and there is no employee focus. On the other hand you will find highly demotivated and disengaged employees on floor except few people who would have got wind fall deals in shell compared to their worth in the market. So the environment is very political and unstable as there is no structure in hiring, work assignment. designation/role etc etc. So please join at your own risk!!
