Pros

a FMCG business model in an energy company organisation is run on a budget/shoe-string people are generally friendly and supportive Diversity, a business that contains the highest number of "non-Shell breed" professional - many experienced recruits Progression is faster compared to other business, but reaches the limit very fast at very young age - either you're then stuck or move to other business- commercial B2B

Cons

Considered an "outside" in Shell, not a core business salary way below that of Upstream + Downstream + Chemical Serious lack of graduate No structured training for graduate Not a place to grow your career in Shell - career graveyard - but good place to gain a feel of how FMCG works in reality

Pros

The Shell brand is recognised worldwide, development opportunities are numerous, performance benefits, career progression and support is structured and transparent which is definitely a great benefit

Cons

I can’t really think of any negatives, apart from as this is a global organisation you can sometimes become ‘lost’ but I have never really experienced this.
