Shell reviews

The problem with working in IT are the sheer volume of bullies. I’ve been sexually harassed, called names by men who were incapable of taking any direction from a female, told there are rumors about me and people don’t like me in the LT but never given specifics. It’s standard practice that others take credit for your work. Every year I kill myself for this company and every year my manager finds a way to put me down. “Reality is perception” so you can’t even stick up for yourself. I try so hard and get good reviews but they make sure you are constantly put down so you keep kissing up and can never feel good about your accomplishments.

Current company trajectory (in Brisbane) from a culture perspective is becoming toxic by the day, with constant reorgs and roles not being backfilled, making the organization very bottom heavy. This has left a gap in opportunities for people to grow into. Purely gender based appointments are also increasing regardless of merit. This make it unfair for the other truly inspirational female leaders the business has, who have truly worked their way up. 75% of the current year graduate intake have been consciously chosen to be females regardless of merit, to give an example, to meet gender ratio targets. Organizational leadership is also currently very secretive and poor, with a great country leadership surrounded by "Yes" people, shielding them from the reality just a few levels below. Opportunity to grow are almost non existent, due to opportunities being filled by people parachuted for the previously mentioned reason. For the first time in many years/ decades, Shell staff are resigning (not redundancy) which indicates the culture shift.
