Shell business service center krakow - be ready to work in a godforsaken ğlace

Accounts receivables

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Leading brand, good references, might have a chance to transfer to local businesses after sometime

Cons

Sbsc krakow is perceived as an external entity by Shell HQ and other entities. So be ready to be treated as an outsourced call center from india. People who work there will amke your life harder and harde if you are good at your job amd ambitious because incapable managers dont like ambitious types and wont let you to strive in the company. I have seen many talented employees leaving this center and i was another one after 1 year. Managers lack talent management, they lack proffesionalism and entirely not aware how a multinational organization work. It is not a place for ambitious people
