Pluspunten

Global Fully integrated Oil and Gas company. Sufficient resources to do work. Great employer for a career as a specialist in an exploration and production technology. Good general but limited in true details about important company activity around the globe, especially if negative. Management decisions are made by stakeholder concensus rather than command and control. This is to Shell's credit. No project or initiative fails, this is not possible. Shiney side is always up. Branding is unbeatable and clean restrooms are tops! Shareholders should expect more. Many jobs are moving offshore that should be good for other countries.

Minpunten

Comp and benefits behind competition, BP, Chevron and set for graduate entry. Very limited consideration given to experienced hires with 15 years plus. Numbers show Shell has difficulty retaining new experienced talent, and will struggle as baby boomers retire. Average age in Shell is high. Experienced talent goes to E&P independents with much better comp and benefits, Anadarko, Devon. Management acts in a vaccum. As no projects fail, only some of the involved are guilty and suffer. The appearance of the Shell is clean, shiney and swift. The reality, there is a great deal that goes on and is never brought to light.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
