Pros

Overall a great company to work with, always has plenty of work to do. Shell is a very well structured company with a strong work ethic. Would recommend working for Shell. Definitely alot of growth due unfortunately Shell has started layoffs and shrinking due to the new CEO but those that have the opportunity to work for Shell gain a lot.

Cons

Too many rules and regulations, everything one does has to be in "compliance", didnt appreciate the fact that one has to go thru exams and training to be safety and rules compliant but I figured this is something every large corporation has to go thru. Also alot of outsourcing going on in Finance and IT which has caused alot of people to leave Shell.

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.
