Work culture is really good. Management is always supportive towards their employees especially what I have seen during COVID-19 lockdown. Regular connects and mailers from org to intervene and support each other. Also more focus on learning and up-skilling in a rapid changing environment.
Nothing as such. People are very co-operative.
Really a great company to work for.

Good policy for employees like paternity leave of 8 weeks, quiet period of 4 weeks
Absolutely no job security. Re-org and Layoff is very frequent. No job promotion as employees are focused on saving jobs. Hike is pathetic.

I become lazy once I joined in Shell. Company pamper you throughout your tenure . keep you in your well being without doing any work, company give 70-100% hike if you are joining from any service based Indian company.
> All Glitters are not Gold. Shell is not a good place to work. Recently got fired due to below issues. >very frequent org changes, >no strategy, no goal, >nepotism, >company won't stick on the path, >create panic, > Leave policy is worst ( Company says sick leave is unlimited. but hinderance are there. No casual leave, If any casual leave required you need to use earned leave) >2 decade old process and technology . >No adoption in morden trend platforms. If found anything legacy way of delivery. >You need to create a visibility within the company and market yourself you have such talent to use for company . >more project managers and very less tech people in every project. > many more. I would recommend do not join in Shell if you are really enthusiastic in your work. In 2024 to 2026 big layoff almost 50% headcount reduction is going on....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.
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
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.

Work life balance and people around are something that's really nice. Work environment is good.
Difficult to identify the right fit for the job. Growth and learning is extremely slow. And now the job security is almost non-existent.

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.
Salary structure they can improve. But they are giving good as per Market standard. But they can pay good salary to employees who deserve.

Good people and team mates.
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.

Nothing as you have 0 job security. You could be fired any day any time and any moment. If you have two offers and another was is paying less also please go for the second one. If will give you money with 0 security and hire and fire culture.
Main thing is like you have to do networking with people to secure your job and too much politics. Work place is too much toxic and negativity around the floor.

Good people to work with
The leadership team keeps changing the org structure every 2 years without thinking about the impact of it on the staff. No vision at all. Technical folks are treated like second class people since it’s oil and gas company. The leadership team keeps changing and so does their goals. They force people to do unnecessary training’s and certifications which are of no use in real life.

Have a good work life balance policy. And you don't have to worry about job security.
Some managers want you to work more then normal hours and come to office everyday. And you can't expect quick promotions

Partiality between regular employees and contractual employees. Cafeteria timings are also depending on which employee you are!
