Pros
Job rotations policy. Each role is for 4-6 years. Good exposure to many parts of the energy business Great flexi work options available (work from home, part time, job share) Medical benefits cover spouse and dependent children. Deductible is SGD 200 per year, employee pays 20%, Shell pays the other 80% for all medical visits above the deductible. (Generally) Intelligent, collaborative and knowledgeable folks to work with. You can call up anyone in Shell to find out what they do, and you get their time! (Generally) Discussions are civil, even when they are heated.
Cons
Finance jobs in non finance operations "FO" countries are being offshored more and more to KL, Chennai, Manila and Krakow. Even Glasgow FO center was shut, likely getting too high cost for the shared service center model to work. Change in CEO every 4 years means a change in strategy, which looks like more the flavor of the day rather than adding real value. Almost constant re organizations. Stack ranking against peers. Only high-potential folks get to choose assignments, especially now when there are more internal candidates looking to switch roles than there are roles available.
