Pros

1. One of the best known brands in the world. One of the very few company logos in the world which does not need the company name to identify itself 2. Great compensation and benefits package 3. A culture built on respect for people 4. International job assignments - a Shell career is a life journey in itself

Cons

1. As with most large corporations, there is an element of bureaucracy 2. Some departments are quite traditional dominated by old veterans 3. Employees are not pushed to grow, Shell is like a maze with so many career tracks - one has to seek out his/her own growth path - really think about it and follow with action

Pros

Absolutely one of the best benefits packages, not just in the energy sector, but overall. By far one of the best 401(k) programs - especially the company contribution after 9 years of service. In addition, still has a traditional pension program.

Cons

Globalization of the company has offshored a lot of the work impacting jobs of employees in "high cost zones (e.g. USA, UK, The Netherlands). The jobs have moved to low cost zones such as Malaysia, India, The Philippines, Brazil, etc.
