Shell Trader reviews

1) Shell have a disappointing habit of hiring serious and successful professionals from the sector and then dis-empowering them. It is very hard to succeed with the combination of clunky IT, overly heavy process that crushes innovation, and deep layers of politics to navigate. 2) Toxic environment created in electricity trading department. One red flag was when a very senior person said “people without mortgages are of no interest to me”. The implication was worrying and intimidating, with the behaviors displayed in the months to follow confirming the fears. 3) I was threatened and indirectly accused of intending to steal IP on the phone the day I resigned, by the same senior leader. It was a very upsetting way to finish my role and justified my decision to resign before securing a new role to move to yet. 4) The toxic management style lead to high stress, not conducive to innovation, happiness, or success. Not how forward thinking organisations should think about leadership.
