      Pros

      They have excellent benefits, very good pay and very knowledgeable employees. Shell offer great opportunities for advancement and is a very stable company.

      Cons

      Some positions requires relocating and of course some position require long working hours but you get more days off of course. some of the positions requires you to stay in that position for at least 4 years before you can transfer to another position, but i think these are mostly technical positions.

      They call it "SHELL" for a reason.

      Pros

      Global Fully integrated Oil and Gas company. Sufficient resources to do work. Great employer for a career as a specialist in an exploration and production technology. Good general but limited in true details about important company activity around the globe, especially if negative. Management decisions are made by stakeholder concensus rather than command and control. This is to Shell's credit. No project or initiative fails, this is not possible. Shiney side is always up. Branding is unbeatable and clean restrooms are tops! Shareholders should expect more. Many jobs are moving offshore that should be good for other countries.

      Cons

      Comp and benefits behind competition, BP, Chevron and set for graduate entry. Very limited consideration given to experienced hires with 15 years plus. Numbers show Shell has difficulty retaining new experienced talent, and will struggle as baby boomers retire. Average age in Shell is high. Experienced talent goes to E&P independents with much better comp and benefits, Anadarko, Devon. Management acts in a vaccum. As no projects fail, only some of the involved are guilty and suffer. The appearance of the Shell is clean, shiney and swift. The reality, there is a great deal that goes on and is never brought to light.
