Pros

Shell is a very people-centric company with a global vision. It offers so many various classes of business with so many areas of expertise, you really can do anything in a company this size. Left to your own ambition, there really is a sense of taking a hold of your own future. Work life balance, compensation, and diversity are all top notch.

Cons

Lots of beauracracy , to be expected in a company of this size. Because of the varied departments and plethora of roles, responsibilites, and diversity of customers, every role is a little different so in that sense it can be a grab bag at times. Companies this big can be very political. Learning opportunities sometimes more specialized compared to a smaller company.

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.
