Pros

There is a multikafeteria program in which you can save every month for vouchers and you get money for relocation from a foreign country

Cons

When I mentioned I wanted to go to HR to report misconduct of a manager I got threatened that if I would go to HR to report misconduct I would get a problem. Management did everything to keep the stuff under the carpet and didn't want to remove the manager or move me to a safe environment as I was being bullied by the management They are very non-transparant as they didn't want to solve the issue or say what they did as the behavior of the manager continued Management is very conservative and threats you like a little kid and acts like you are dumb The management is very junior and doesn't have any knowledge and some have very limited knowledge about the process they are managing Management feels like they are above the people and in Shell the person with the highest job level is always right Management is not performing the work and nobody cares about this Quote from the ethical department: We need to look between the balance between the business and the safe work environment when I reported misconduct. HR never contacted me anymore as I said I felt very unsafe to report harassment when I filled in the exit survey Promotions are blocked and there is a lot of nepotism

Pros

Good pension Good office locations Still seems to be a respected brand outside

Cons

No bonuses and pay rises Bonuses cut in previous years White men are held back to enable a diversity drive. Don't expect to be promoted if you are a white male No proper training. All cheap online self learning courses Management are disengaged and constantly suckingup and back stabbing each other HR no longer exists, it's a call centre Senior management spout the line of coming to work for anything other than good pay whilst on massive expat packages with free housing Managers get shouted at a lot Pushing back to be in the office so you can sit on headset all day whilst being watched
