Pros

I used to work for Shell as an employee and then as a contractor for 10 years in the IT organization. Most of the people are very friendly and work hard to find ways to make Shell a good place to work.

Cons

Over the past 2-3 years Shell has started to reduce their contractor footprint and lower the rates they pay, as well as the margins paid to agency's. While not surprising in these tough times in the oil patch, it does make it harder to get in the door.
