Pros

It is the safest option to work in a research position at Shell at oil downtimes and you can enjoy significant independence at the work place. The salaries are quite competitive.

Cons

Everything is slow at Shell, there is a lot of inertia. The news don't get communicated fast enough from the upper management to the employees.
