Pros

Atmosphere of equality, respect, general awareness to diversity and inclusiveness. The company is also very particular about work life balance and does not restrict the employees wanting to take time-off.

Cons

Slow decision making. Making change happen can be difficult. Difficult to pursue dynamic or fast paced ambitions. Someimes gives a government company feel with the lack if speed and accountability.

Pros

- Shell is recognized as a leader in the oil sector, so it will look very good in your Resume - It's a great place to get experience - Good place to get training - Treats well Dutch and British citizens, so if you're one of them, go for it

Cons

- Shell has as their core values: Integrity, Honesty and Respect for People; and they break all of them in the course of doing business, as long as it's suitable for management to do so. They cut costs at the employee's benefit package expense, for instance. That's not "respect for people" - Very clear distinction between Dutch/British and other nationalities, more so than in other companies I've worked or know about

Salary above average compare to similar position in area. Very good work life balance; minimum 40+ work week. Cross-training available; support to grow knowledge base. Financial benefit options positive.

Cons

Complicated supply chain across wide range of product lines. Large company; slow change progression. Political mine field between agendas/accounts. Health benefits lacking behind most companies.
