Pros

Work Life Balance, Good Offices and Amenities, Global HR policies, Employees Health and Safety

Cons

Reviews which do not fall under IT might be true, but when it comes to IT, Shell is no less than any other service based company. Most of the employees that were settled down here, earlier they used to work for shell account from Accenture/Wipro/IBM. Hence there is a preference for hikes & promotions to the people from the above companies. In the past few years a lot of people who used to work as contractors from those companies were made permanent employees. In some cases without any such visible requirement. This has resulted in unnecessary increase in headcount. Hence Global Leadership team decided to implement cost cutting in the name of Re-org. So Job security is the thing of past in Shell. Most of the managers or people in higher position will be from Accenture/IBM/Wipro, mostly Accenture. It can be termed as B team of Accenture. If you are about to join the company thinking that it is a product based company, you are under false impression.

Pros

Early career engineers are given significant ownership and exposure to complex operational challenges. Strong focus on safety, technical development, and collaboration across disciplines. Opportunities to work on high-impact projects, interact with senior leadership, and contribute to decisions affecting major assets and infrastructure.

Cons

Workloads can be demanding, and priorities can shift quickly based on operational needs. Decision-making processes can be slow due to organizational complexity, and geographic mobility may be necessary for certain career opportunities.
