Pros

Well compensated in terms of salary. Technology driven company in terms of downstream (chemical manufacturing). The company has a good reputation and global opportunities for advancment. Shell is positioned as a leader in the chemical industry therefore you will a stable career path.

Cons

Not much feedback concerning performance - Closed off culture - not much communications - There mentoring program of new hires is far below average. It was a good experience however I would not return, it was not a friendly, family atmosphere.The engineers tend to stay closed off from other personnel which creates a lack of communication in solving problems.

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.
