      [Was] A Great company with great culture

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Respect in the workplace for the most part. This was a place where you were able to make a great lasting career. Benefits were amazing. Networking is phenomenal. Great work-life balance. One of the most recognized organizations in the world. Pay was ok, but benefits made up for it, especially the bonus structure.

      Cons

      All of this has changed. Shell is not recognizable anymore. Layoffs have impacted the majority of the workers in the US eliminating a LARGE amount of employees sending them overseas. Politics. CEO is overly aggressive with his promises. He'd rather satisfy the shareholders over the Shell employees.

      Pros

      Great pay, benefits, DE&I, employees that generally want to help each other

      Cons

      Lots of constant reorganizations, which means layoffs. Hard to get anything done, lots of red tape. Very political. A lot of lip service with mission statement that is never backed up by actions/decision-making.

      Very good work life balance & salary pay

      Business analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Good work life balance 2. Good salary as compared to outside market especially for a BA role. 3. Interesting work if you land in good project

      Cons

      1. After layoff in 2024, things are scattered. Work load has shifted to a bit greater side. 2. Earlier Shell felt like the safest place but now job security is a concern here as anytime random layoff is happening after the new CEO Wael Sawan has taken the seat.
