Pros

Safety is their top priority. Great learning environment. Shell employs world-class technical people. Pay and benefits are well above industry average. Opportunity to travel and visit Shell operations around the world is beneficial.

Cons

Royal Dutch Shell is a group of companies and so, sometimes individual company "cultural norms" get in the way of a common RDS vision. Shell is a matrix organization, however, at times it lacks an ability to truly prioritize project work because of multiple inputs into the process. Consequently, everything becomes a priority which means nothing is a priority.

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.
