Pros

facilities, infrastructure, Transport, Brand Value, learning

Cons

It is not the same Shell anymore, care for people is gone with new CEO stepping in. Ruthless job cuts, unplanned & unclear objectives and execution, Impacting lower job staff is not savings when senior leadership level hardly any changes are seen. Re-orgs keep happening every 2 or 3 years once and Mgmt. keeps shifting from old model to new model and vice versa

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.
