Pros

Good salary package and work life balance.

Cons

Severe bureaucracy and process-reliant leadership. Very slow career progression. Values and vision look noble on paper but not reflected when dealing with personnel issue. Eg: Not LGBTQ friendly in real life. Profit first. People last. As my retired/retiring ex-colleagues aid, the golden era of Shell was over long before 2000s. Way too many lazy people being complacent and incompetent in their jobs. It became very discouraging if you're looking for stimulating and exciting work environment.

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.
