Pros

People at Shell are very kind and understanding Great benefits and provides allowances!

Cons

There are some line managers or leaders who have a very traditional view on promotions (I don't know why they are strict with the 4-year rule before promotions). Not every manager but a lot.

Shell SBO is Worst Place to Work

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

1. Promotion and hikes would be good even you don't have any skillset. Just keep doing buttering of your line manager and you are good to go. 2. No need to work much if you and your line manager belongs to same region. 3. Biasing and favoritism could be good tool for you if you can use it wisely. 4. No need to have professionalism. SBO Bangalore has no high standards. 5. If you have good terms with leadership, you can live life like a government employee.

Cons

1. No Performance per Pay - No matter how exceptional or hardworking you are. You will get based on you years of experience in Shell. 2. Biasing, Favoritism - These are the principal values in SBO Bangalore. Leadership is highly biased in terms of giving benefits and recognition. 3. Unofficial Work other than Project Assignment - In Shell, some line managers have tendency to identify the hard working talents and burden-up them by asking them to work in projects and assignment where they are not even billed for. You are not allowed to tell you current project manager that you are also working in some other projects otherwise you will be culprit in front of your line manager. This will lead you to stress and ruin your work life balance. Even after all this, it is not necessary that you will come in the good books of your line manager. 4. Low Pay - There was a time when Shell was a pay master but the time has changed. Shell does not give good hikes to the people already working for them and also it has a huge chunk of your CTC as a global performance pay. Shell is powerful enough to take out that money from your annual CTC (which is already done in 2020) and you cannot do anything about it. Please read your contract carefully before joining. 5. No Equal Opportunity - Due to high biasing and favoritism, SBO Bangalore does not have equal opportunities for their employees. 2. Two Years Waiting Period- Even there is no guidelines from HR but if you have newly joined COE in Bangalore you have to wait minimum 2 years in Shell in order to apply to a higher role.

Pros

Lots of great managers, while some are not good and not fit for leadership roles. High impact projects that look good on your resume.

Cons

Need to be really good at getting on the good side of managers to be promoted. Promotion opportunities are few and far between. Inconsistent work load, and very much depend on your manager and your team. I've been to teams where I spent all my waking hours working and some teams where I spend half of my days doing nothing, and the pay is the same. The Wells organization doesn't have good job security with the energy transition in the near future, and leadership is doing nothing to encourage people to stay in Wells or at Shell.
