Pros

There are excellent opportunities to advance into global roles that offer valuable career experiences and personal development, benefiting you and your family.

Cons

Shell does not have a structured career succession planning process. As a result, employees are expected to find new internal roles independently every 3 to 4 years. Additionally, the company frequently undergoes reorganizations, often occurring within the same timeframe, which can affect career progression and limit your time in the company.
