Pros

Tremendous amount of empowerment. The more successful you are, the more you can do. The people of Shell are tremendous to work with. 9/80 days are a real benefit (Trading - Lubes - Get with it...) Senior management is making a real effort to communicate to the employees, at all levels. Shell gets diversity. The most progressive of companies of all the ones I intimately know. Great information sharing. Very few co-workers that hoard information. Commitment of recruiting talent by VERY senior management.

Cons

Upper management gets it. First level supervision and management generally get it. Sometimes it is weak in-between. (Upside is that this generally corrects itself)

Pros

There are many diverse roles and opportunities within the company, which can make it easier to explore different career paths and avoid feeling stuck or bored.

Cons

Company lacks clear direction and has significant internal disorganization. Employees are often expected to take on multiple roles without appropriate compensation or support. Despite consistently being a high performer, I left feeling undervalued — after covering two roles, there wasn’t even a simple thank you upon departure. To make matters worse, eight months after leaving, they are now claiming I owe over $5,000 in PTO that had previously been considered settled at the time of my exit. Overall, the experience left a very negative impression and highlighted serious internal process issues.
