Pros

Very good culture, great management, good pay, good vacation package, supporting charities. I learnt a lot from senior engineers, good training programs, good opportunity for new grad

Cons

Oil price low impacts part of the business, hopefully this is only temporary, but luckily Shell is a diverse enough company to hedge the risk of low oil price. Sometimes there are some company politics new people need to take care of.

Pros

Work-life balance is really taken seriously at Shell. The managers are very supportive of new ideas and innovation. They really treat people well by establishing a large level of trust.

Cons

They are way too concerned about non-safety issues such as walking away from a microwave when warming food. There are legit safety issues in a petroleum company, but they go overboard.
