Pros

Work life balance, good compensation and benefits, excellent and well structured learning and development program. Relatively low stress working environment with minimal office politics at least where I was.

Cons

Growth opportunities are there but in general it seems to be quite age oriented, more opens up the older you get. On the whole, it is a rich company with a pretty laid back attitude, needs to be more aggressive to attract the go getters.

Pros

Ok money, hard to get fired. Can get time off for family emergencies.

Cons

Leaders not setting company for a growth path. Appear to be making the company more attractable for a buyer. Current Shell culture cannot be competitive with other companies. Lots of useless paper work-- this paper work IS someone’s career. Poor/non-existent carrier paths for technical people. Upper management have stated safety is more important the making money. Have to play the popularity game for promotion. Bonus system is a joke. They assign bonus factors BEFORE doing an employee’s year-end review.
