Pros

Shell has a very good brand value and they maintain a very good working environment. The work life balance is pretty good and they take extra care for female employees. Salary is also decent. You will have lots of things to learn from their vast spread businesses.

Cons

Their is almost no facilities. Even the parental Mediclaim policy is crazy expensive. Also the variable part of the salary is quite high and it depends on company performance. So high chances that you might loose a substantial amount of money. Also they maintain designations which does not make any sense. There are many people with designation of business analyst are actually 2 level higher in the organization from people having designations Senior team manager. This creates lots of confusion with in and outside market.

Pros

The salary is good and you get an extra 5 days a year off.

Cons

The culture is absolutely toxic. The most unfriendly people I have ever encountered in my career. No team work whatsoever, people are trying to build mini 'empires' and to take credit and 'recognition' for just actually doing their jobs. In terms of technical competencies, the lack of experience and knowledge is astonishing, but the more shocking part is the denial and refusal to accept shortcomings. The competences are questionable and often you see people working in areas with no past experience.

Pros

Good salary Great work-life balance Great safety culture Generally a relaxed environment to work

Cons

Though efforts are made, a singular and consistent strategy spanning across many years seems lacking. Management decisions are questionable at times, often nullifying the effect of decisions taken in the past. Though sometimes beneficial, re-orgs happen frequently (but not necessarily leading to job cuts).
