Pros

Strong DEI culture (I can vouch as a young, Asian woman in a male-dominated field) Even stronger safety culture Access to a global network of professionals, technical experts, and business leaders Top quartile salaries and non-monetary benefits* within country *inc. healthcare, training opportunities

Cons

Career opportunities are typically limited to what's in your base country, as well as the reach/influence of your line manager. It doesn't seem like the talent pipeline is managed as proactively anymore, especially now that HR is mostly outsourced to hubs like Manila. Pay is largely driven by your base country. For example: Given two expats with the same roles & duties in the same asset/location, the one from a 1st world country like the UK or NL will be paid waaaay more than the other from a 3rd world country because pay is relative to what's competitive where you came from, rather than just the value of your skills. Should be fine if you've already accepted your fate, born into being cheap labor 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pros

Shell has always been a company that treats its employees extremely well and offers excellent pay and benefits. The culture is also great. This appears to be changing and the culture is shifting towards the American oil and gas super majors.

Cons

bureaucracy and mediocrity. Shell has processes upon processes that make things very inefficient. it is designed to work on high-risk and high-reward projects, where the benefits of process outweigh the efficiency costs.

Pros

More CTC- So that you can contribute to the nation building by giving 60-70% of your CTC to the government in direct & indirect taxes, Best world class leaders- Top level management is the best for their own benefit. One can learn from them how to be selfish & squeeze the JG2 and below so that they can get more stocks & CTC (their performance is directly linked to the amount of blood they squeeze, the more your blood reduces the higher their performance bonus & package) Learn from Leaders - one can easily learn from leaders on how to be a double standard person. You can have all the cost cutting and restrictions for the actual work but when it comes to their travel & need they can do it any time as it's business critical to go from one location to another to shake hands with other folks in their location. But when you want to travel for a project purpose you can't because travel will emit a lot of CO2 which will destroy the nature & company needs to save cost so that their package can be increased. Makes you feel special & healthy - Top folks & County Chair Team will make you feel special by making you work extra in India and paying you just as much that one can barely buy peanuts ensuring that your health remains at optimum level so that you deliver all the tasks and their package, Bonus & stocks increases. Work from Home - Literally it means work from home a comfort that you have because one needs to work for 15-16 hrs to ensure that your contribution helps top level travel more, work less and enjoy more comfort in their pay package and benefits. Make you feel rich:- Pay structure is so wonderful that we you feel you are from the lineage of Ambani & Adani and you don't need  money in your hand. I was so moved by this gesture I almost went to Antilia to stay with my family. Makes you believe in reincarnation- no matter which faith you belong to top management ensures they are not biased and you believe in reincarnation so that you can do your non office work in your next life. Healthier team - Management ensures that they run special events to pressurize the staff every year as reorg (fancy names like Reshape, Evolution etc..). As a result the top performers or the cream layer staff gets frustrated and moves out of the organization as a result the team is left with non cream staff (non performer) and hence healthy. We all know cream is not good for health & for company as well. Vocal for local -  Indian management is so pro vocal for locals that they will never let them out of the country & ensure that they are so deeply routed for the country that they do not ask to go out of the country for a job. Brings Maturity - within 4-5 months of joining you'll realise how mature you have become as you'll be taught that you have to work harder and harder so that the bank balance and perks increase yours but of the top management. Cost effective - Indian management is so cost effective that even after giving peanuts they will find a way to reduce that next year which helps them to increase their by the same percentage they reduce for others. Cost management - A speciality of the company is to manage cost effectively. They will reduce the spent on required things but will spend lavishly on things which are not required e.g. coffee area renovation every 2 years, world class speakers and amplifier to play music in the cafeteria where you can forget the office tension while eating lunch from a provider who cares less. Non biased approach - Top management not biased at all for diversity. They will ensure that there is a diversity at top level even though the person hired at the role doesn't know anything but that's okay as one of the goals of the organisation is to be a top Diversity and inclusive organisation. Fair Management - top management in india is consistently fair and non biased to the organisation goal. Irrespective of being the low cost establishment globally Indian management always ensure that the staff in India consistently gets lesser benefits, perks, bonus, stocks and salary compared to other establishments across the globe. Such a dedicated manager is rarely seen Charity driven organisation - after giving 50-60% to government in taxes company also expects to contribute to "Voluntarily" for causes such as Run for causes, NGO's hence driving a culture of charity so that employees feel they are rich and can contribute to these social causes.

Cons

Top level management, Double standard, Selfish management, Not employee friendly, Policy and Benefits
