Shell is all about "politics, poor leadership, and instability"! - Anonymous employee Shell Employee Review

1. Workplace Politics: Internal politics often overshadow meritocracy, with favoritism and alliances influencing key decisions, promotions, and assignments. 2. Management Challenges: Most managers and so called 'leaders' lack the vision or skills to effectively lead their teams, resulting in micromanagement, unclear priorities, and low morale. 3. Leadership Gaps in India: The current global leadership and India leadership team is often disconnected from ground realities, leading to poorly informed strategies, inconsistent priorities, and a lack of focus on employee well-being. 4. Questionable Promotion Practices: Women leaders are promoted to meet quotas despite lacking the necessary expertise. This undermines team confidence and decision-making quality. 5. Frequent Restructuring and Layoffs: A lack of clear long-term vision has led to frequent organizational restructures and layoffs, creating uncertainty and instability among employees. 6. Limited Career Progression: Growth opportunities are often tied to internal networks rather than merit or performance, leaving many talented individuals feeling undervalued and demotivated.
