Pros

Overall a great company to work with, always has plenty of work to do. Shell is a very well structured company with a strong work ethic. Would recommend working for Shell. Definitely alot of growth due unfortunately Shell has started layoffs and shrinking due to the new CEO but those that have the opportunity to work for Shell gain a lot.

Cons

Too many rules and regulations, everything one does has to be in "compliance", didnt appreciate the fact that one has to go thru exams and training to be safety and rules compliant but I figured this is something every large corporation has to go thru. Also alot of outsourcing going on in Finance and IT which has caused alot of people to leave Shell.

Pros

The experience and salary were excellent for university students. Their coop program included seminars on career planning. Co-workers were generally helpful in providing assistance to coops.

Cons

No benefits available to coop students (sucks when you require expensive dental work). Coworker interaction outside of work was limited.
