Pros

Shell is a very good company, good pay, great benefits (get better the longer your tenure) and very intelligent people Great name recognition, when I resigned I applied to only 5 companies, got 3 interviews and 2 job offers, if you do a good job here you will be valued elsewhere

Cons

O&G cyclical industry, would really not recommend for newer engineers Get experience and get out, its what I did. Other companies will pay you what Shell is paying or more

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.
