Pros

Lots of great managers, while some are not good and not fit for leadership roles. High impact projects that look good on your resume.

Cons

Need to be really good at getting on the good side of managers to be promoted. Promotion opportunities are few and far between. Inconsistent work load, and very much depend on your manager and your team. I've been to teams where I spent all my waking hours working and some teams where I spend half of my days doing nothing, and the pay is the same. The Wells organization doesn't have good job security with the energy transition in the near future, and leadership is doing nothing to encourage people to stay in Wells or at Shell.
