Business outlook
Pros
- Company is generally performing well despite downturn in the oil and gas industry - Buyout by Shell was necessary to maintain relevance - Many high-performing individuals across teams (finance, energy trading, commercial, enterprise information management) - Offices are well-equipped and managed - Strong safety culture - it becomes part and parcel of your life
Cons
- Subject to the fluctuations of oil prices - Offshoring / outsourcing of certain functions has led to a braindrain, so many colleagues have left to join other O&G firms - I expect this trend to continue - Opportunities to move between teams are limited. (e.g. I tried to join the very large IT group but this was dominated by external contracts from large firms)
