Pros

Good people working here, good training opportunities, good compensation scheme compared to other Dutch employers, working from home for a day or so per week possible, good Work / Life Balance, mostly.

Cons

All the disadvantages of a large company. And every 4 years one needs to find a new job. If unsuccessful it can become difficult to keep the job. "Diversity and Inclusion" at Shell means that women are prioritised and men disadvantaged.

Pros

Early career engineers are given significant ownership and exposure to complex operational challenges. Strong focus on safety, technical development, and collaboration across disciplines. Opportunities to work on high-impact projects, interact with senior leadership, and contribute to decisions affecting major assets and infrastructure.

Cons

Workloads can be demanding, and priorities can shift quickly based on operational needs. Decision-making processes can be slow due to organizational complexity, and geographic mobility may be necessary for certain career opportunities.
