Pros

Plenty of opportunities to work with cutting edge equipment, lots of vendor support.A supperb place to start one's career as they have procedures to cover every possible item.The journey person to apprentice ratio is out of this world. Students wanting to check out work life as a blue collar worker have an excellent opportunity to try several different trades orriented carreer paths.

Cons

The process of thinking for oneself is quite limited due to excessive procedures, even for the simplest of tasks. One can speak out, it's not supposed to hold you back, yet you might find it some what carreer limiting if you persist on getting answers. Schedules and paperwork are the rule, incomplete of missed paper work means the job was not done.

Pros

The salary is good, there are many good technical people here, and the work is interesting. It feels like I can make a difference for the company if i do good work, and I am rewarded well for doing good work.

Cons

There is a lot of paper work in Shell it seems very difficult to get all of the different computer systems to work, and you are always having to contact people in Holland to get something done. They're constantly getting on your case about being chargeable, which I guess is to be expected in a consulting business like this.

Pros

They have excellent benefits, very good pay and very knowledgeable employees. Shell offer great opportunities for advancement and is a very stable company.

Cons

Some positions requires relocating and of course some position require long working hours but you get more days off of course. some of the positions requires you to stay in that position for at least 4 years before you can transfer to another position, but i think these are mostly technical positions.
