Very chill work environment, enough time to manage work-life balance, good leave policy and company culture.

Dislikes

SAP ERP Team - Shell makes you complacent as the work is too chill sometimes. If you like challenges and to be kept on your toes, Shell isn't the place to be. They do interesting work, but such PoCs are only accessible to the elite few in a closed circle who have been in Shell for 5+ years and won't let anyone grab any interesting opportunities. The previous CEO Ben and the new CEO Wael have opposing strategies, which has given rise to uncertainty in the company. A lot of people are being quietly laid off with 6 months of severance to avoid media spotlight. Promotions have been halted for the above reason as well for 1+ years....Read More

Shell working culture is good and employee safety is top priority.

Dislikes

Agenda is transparency but no one will follow. lots of internal politics and here in India, employees are misusing the power and using the company policy as they require. Job security is gone for a toss from last year.

For now nothing to say. Every benefits were stopped in the name of cost cutting.

Dislikes

Everything we heard about Shell is a expired thought. Already shell started loosing it's Unique culture. It has becoming a worst management model. It has become a normal industrial mindset of absorbing employees blood and not providing any benefits. Promotion takes minimum 6 years, And salary standards were only 40-50% compared to others and not 75%. Top level of management focus on how to destroy the shell culture and make own benefits....Read More

Shell was good when it moved its IT delivery and operations into India during 2015. But the culture has taken a dip post pandemic.

Dislikes

1. No vision at all from IT Executives. Shell hired staff and contractors left and right between 2020 - 21, and now have been firing people left and right since 2022. 2. No job security at all. There are frequent re-organisations. Sometimes, almost every year. Whenever there is re-organization there is lay off of staff. 3. Not merit based organization. You get retained in the company, not on the basis of merit but on the basis of people you know. There is no value for work you do and the outcome. 4. Human care is just on paper. There is absolutely no human care and it's just on paper and for show off. In essence, no leader or manager cares for staff's health and growth. 5. In the name of DE&I women staff get promotions, though not all deserving. Which certainly is having a long-term impact on leadership pipeline and vision of the company....Read More

Large organisation / big brand Diverse business and people Good pay on paper Work life balance - depends on role or project to project

Dislikes

No vision in IT, leaders/managers are merely postman. Your growth and job security is 100% dependent on your leaders and 0% on work quality you deliver. I have seen absolute poor performers getting promoted and very good performers struggling to keep job during frequent reorgs. Lot of care / safety / people Dev only in powerpoint slides. They don’t act what they preach.

I think Shell is one of the best company in the world where you can upskill and improve yourself in every aspect. Company work culture and Policy for employee is very attractive. They really care for employee wellbeing and here Policy is not only on Paper. There is good work life balance in this company.

Dislikes

Good people and team mates.

Dislikes

No development of personal and career nature. Lots of pressure from buisness and related teams. No support from line or PM. Company mentality is you either get along with stress or leave. CEO is completely focused on generation of short term money doesn't care for Indian employees which is evident with past 2 year net salary decrease.
