Shell reviews about "manager"

1) you`re asking for salary only at the staring point - then even after promotion only % change that always will be lower (about 80%) than offer to external candidate 2) a lot of corpo language - almost no direct and honest talks - a lot of feedback on feedbacks, not admitting real issues etc 3) main aim - to take out of you the best you know but not developing your skills (not `up or out` approach but sitting and doing something for years if you`re ok with that), consequently see point 1 - you`re asking money only for your best at admission point 4) everything depends on your manager and his/her personality/features of character. if your manager not fine with your development prospects - almost no chance you will grow but covered with `corpo language` facade (see p. 2)

Low pay, working with the public, register was very outdated

politics a few bad managers that don't seem to get moved out location

Boys Club - hardcore New hires are all A+ type which ends up with a bit of friction Easy to get lost in such a big company

Poor mgt culture and line managers

Too much of bureaucracy Give importance to visibility and extra curricular activities more than actual work Line Manager controls everything Very difficult to get promotion, they have 4 year window for promotion and if you miss the opportunity, you will have to wait for another 4 years for promotion or you have to leave the company

task based contract might mean 10+ working hours daily. company policies not necessarily followed by some of Ops managers if it against their interests.

Too much bureaucracy which slows progress down in a company that requires and demands speed. Staff evaluation process is archaic and formulaic which makes identifying and rewarding contributions a challenge - for both staff and line managers.
