Pros

- work life balance - flexible supervisor/manager - way less toxic compare to when I joined - no harassments. super sensitive. 1 email away you can be in trouble.

Cons

- salary and benefits are not commensurate with the job and responsibilites - Job group here is smaller compare to other Shell; smaller salary - old plant. fragile and hard to maintain. ex: the plant can trip due to lightning. - high workload, low manpower/staff - some of the bosses/managers still micromanaging

Pros

Lots of benefits - medical, 13th and 14th month pay, choice pot (20K annual allowance for all employees to encourage work-life balance e.g. hotel reservations, flight tickets, medicine, gym membership, workout apparels, etc.) Performance bonus and salary increase annually Annual Leave - 17 days VL for employees less than 10years, 15 days sick leave (convertible to cash every January), and 5 days emergency leave Easy to request for leaves, though this still depends on your manager Hybrid set-up (2 days mandatory in the office) Since it is a BPO and multinational company, you get to work with plenty of foreign stakeholders.

Cons

Busy month-end activities where overtime is expected (though this is common for finance departments even in other companies) Cost-cutting (depends on which department you are in), therefore automation is encouraged which could also mean downsizing Annual salary increase is low and even if you are promoted, increase is still low (around 8-10% only) Base salary compared to other BPO companies is relatively low. Promotion takes time - each employee has a 4-year window in their current role before they can be promoted. You can be promoted within 1-2 years if you have an exceptional talent or skill, or if you are a lead's favorite.

Pros

- Decent/Good Pay, Benefits, Retirement - 1 of the only Oil and Gas Companies that wants to be seen as the World's Hip, Woke Energy Company (do what you will with the greenwashing and heavy investments into marketing, lol)

Cons

HR (read: someone in the Philippines whom you will never even have a phone conversation with) will put you wherever there is a "business need". Most of the time these departments and opportunities are pure garbage and are of little relevance to the future, your career trajectory and the company's bottom line. RIP skills. Because they just throw you wherever (and at little notice) this translates to you likely not having any experience working in the specific function, and at the same time you will not be supported/mentored to do the job correctly. I have been regularly working overtime and weekends without getting paid and I do not feel like I am getting any skills or experience, so I am hoping to leave soon. There have been surveys sent out to global new graduates in the program. The results are summarized: - Majority leave before their 3 years, - <40% were satisfied to have completed the program - 20% rated their line managers as good/sufficient

Pros

Shell takes care of its workers first! I have a good life balance, and a manager that constantly makes efforts to remove obstacles

Cons

The remuneration gift for employees’ long service (5/10/15 years etc) is very little
