Pros

You will get brand name. Little bit flexibility in terms of working hours and work from home.

Cons

You dont get much freedom to work independantly. Dont get enough opportunity to grow and use your skills. Salary structure is not tax friendly most of your earning will go in paying taxes. Parents will not get covered in medical insurance and getting additional insurance for your parents is very costly in shell it will make you fell a bit insecure financially if parents are dependent. Work from home is not there like in other IT company so again achieving work life balance becomes difficult for people working from home

Pros

Good Brand but no one care about the brand until and unless your job is secured. Can only make employees happy with good salary packages Big Cafeteria but food is not good.

Cons

Rude Management Very Project Centric...Once Project gets over then you will be fired easily In India Shell India Markets Pvt. Ltd. is the worst place to work for.. In India they are treating humans as dogs. Very tight project deadlines Company doesn't have a proper future these days. It can fire anyone if you are vintage employee or whatever you are...Company has got a very bad firing policy. Trust me if you want to play with your career then only join Shell.

Pros

Safe work environment considering the nature of the business. Union backed. Tremendous opportunities for advancement. Plenty of overtime if you like to do it. Union pay scale and medical are excellent! Great paying job even for those without degrees. Shell's Goal Zero mentality is excellent. 100% vested retirement plans.

Cons

Black out dates for turn-arounds. If you don't like some overtime then this may be a challenge. For Operations, shift work can be tough. No Pay for required Basic Fire Crew!
