Pros
Shell's core values i.e. honesty, integrity and respect for people are practiced beyond corporate branding. Therefore, employees feel they are being trusted, safe to speak and respected. On work life balance, there is a very strong culture to support staff personal life and as a result employees feel highly motivated to deliver their best. Every year, Shell People Survey is conducted and this is a very critical process to let the employees speak up their minds and the management make it a strong point to follow up on feedback from this annual survey.
Cons
Complex organisation sometimes makes it difficult for decision to be made. As a big organisation, staff are also limited to the dedicated areas they are assigned to. This limit overall growth and the staff will find themselves less competitive elsewhere especially smaller organisations.
