A fantastic org, at least too a few years ago. A good focus on future of the company

Cons

Excessive reorganization. Every other year there is a reorg. Frustrating levels of internal politics over the last few years. D&I is beginning to show ts adverse effects now

Pros

Great company where your job has ownership, real cross functional collaboration and bottom line impact. There are times where travel budget is low to non existent, but when it was not i had the opportunity to travel globally. Real roles with real accountability. Decent work life balance.

Cons

Continuous reorganizations is a stress to the employees at all levels. Extremely limited opportunities to advance from a certain level up. Agreeing to a promotion at some point feels like an acceptance that this will be your last role in the company. Lastly, Shell used to greatly value cross functional movement to develop skills (one of the reasons i joined). It does much less nowadays.

Pros

1) Great teamate, most of them are very intelligent and hardworking 2) pay is decent if we are expected to work only on normal working hours

Cons

1) nowdays due to cost cutting, a person are expected to do 2.5 person job. 2) not enough manpower causes staff to unfortunately back to back work late close to everyday for extended period of time. 3) high stress causing people to fall sick which lead to more workload to other team member. 4) people resign and not being replaced properly. 5) pay and benefit are no longer attractive considering the workload and hours spend 6) staff working late affecting their family relationship 7) all these while the ceo and high level management enjoying benefit increase in millions of usd which dwarf the cost cutting measures. Ridiculous.
