Pros
Decent salary, benefits and work/life balance
Cons
The strategy under the new CEO, Wael, is short-sighted and focuses exclusively on short-term shareholder returns and boosting stock price, at the expense of committing to a sustainable greener future as promised under the previous CEO. Cutting renewables projects while also reorganizing and laying off thousands of employees from more traditional hydrocarbon roles after a few years of record profits, while also not announcing anything in any forum or any fashion about a company-wide reorg (which given the scale, it absolutely is) reeks of a disingenuous motive that belongs in the camp of greedy selfish billionaires looking to maximize profit at any cost. Shell has always claimed to care about people but unfortunately this is not the company under Wael. There is also no career progression anymore in the company - all of the middle management layers have been removed. You can progress to a senior individual contributor and remain there doing essentially the same type of work for over a decade.
