Pros

Teammates are helpful. Workplace is nice. Free coffee in different floors.

Cons

Your experience depends on your manager. The one I was under with is biased and has preferred candidates because s/he referred them. Even if you work diligently and has good record than the new hires, s/he will push the new hires for promotion instead. Also, the heavy workload. Expect it every month-end and year-end. Be wary of a teammate who might talk behind your back. I experienced someone who is rude when I ask nicely and shared personal matters to the manager. Even going out with your closed teammates (who became friends) is a big deal to them. There is no boundary at all. Consider this position for experience. But expect that there is no work-life balance to it.

Pros

The cafeteria is lovely. You have parking area

Cons

Leaders are horrible - they aren't classed as leaders but more like BOSSES! Very biased and racist leaders. They DO NOT care for their employees at all. Luckily John the so called CPO has left the company. Although his title says Chief People Officer, he is not at all a people person. Alec who is a so called Head of Comms, just doesn't know how to communicate with the business in his comms and ends up being very harsh in his articles that end up hurting employee's feelings (very arrogant and shrewd person). Managers on the floor as well aren't very great. If you're working for Shell Energy - you're just another number for them making them money. People don't last long there because the work culture isn't good at all. This place is filled with bossy and arrogant people. No scope for development. You will only get a chance to develop if you are good buddies with the bosses!

Salary Bonuses Project type of work.

Cons

Difficult and heavy organization with a lot of hierarchical procedures that only hinder the work and take up time Unprofessional and untrained line management Mobbing Standard “flattering the manager” agenda and a lot of drama on top of hard work Personal relationship are valued more than professional Corporate culture can be toxic and intrusive and is more a “show” then the real care

Pros

Great culture. The team I was in truly embodies Shell's values as well as the Learner Mindset

Cons

- Your experience can depend on the team you are in. There are some teams with incompetent leaders or sometimes individual contributors with an informal leadership role. A classic example is a former manager who was moved to an individual contributor role. - Pay is not competitive, even if they claim they do - Lack of flexibility on working arrangements - Lack of external perspectives
