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

More CTC- So that you can contribute to the nation building by giving 60-70% of your CTC to the government in direct & indirect taxes, Best world class leaders- Top level management is the best for their own benefit. One can learn from them how to be selfish & squeeze the JG2 and below so that they can get more stocks & CTC (their performance is directly linked to the amount of blood they squeeze, the more your blood reduces the higher their performance bonus & package) Learn from Leaders - one can easily learn from leaders on how to be a double standard person. You can have all the cost cutting and restrictions for the actual work but when it comes to their travel & need they can do it any time as it's business critical to go from one location to another to shake hands with other folks in their location. But when you want to travel for a project purpose you can't because travel will emit a lot of CO2 which will destroy the nature & company needs to save cost so that their package can be increased. Makes you feel special & healthy - Top folks & County Chair Team will make you feel special by making you work extra in India and paying you just as much that one can barely buy peanuts ensuring that your health remains at optimum level so that you deliver all the tasks and their package, Bonus & stocks increases. Work from Home - Literally it means work from home a comfort that you have because one needs to work for 15-16 hrs to ensure that your contribution helps top level travel more, work less and enjoy more comfort in their pay package and benefits. Make you feel rich:- Pay structure is so wonderful that we you feel you are from the lineage of Ambani & Adani and you don't need  money in your hand. I was so moved by this gesture I almost went to Antilia to stay with my family. Makes you believe in reincarnation- no matter which faith you belong to top management ensures they are not biased and you believe in reincarnation so that you can do your non office work in your next life. Healthier team - Management ensures that they run special events to pressurize the staff every year as reorg (fancy names like Reshape, Evolution etc..). As a result the top performers or the cream layer staff gets frustrated and moves out of the organization as a result the team is left with non cream staff (non performer) and hence healthy. We all know cream is not good for health & for company as well. Vocal for local -  Indian management is so pro vocal for locals that they will never let them out of the country & ensure that they are so deeply routed for the country that they do not ask to go out of the country for a job. Brings Maturity - within 4-5 months of joining you'll realise how mature you have become as you'll be taught that you have to work harder and harder so that the bank balance and perks increase yours but of the top management. Cost effective - Indian management is so cost effective that even after giving peanuts they will find a way to reduce that next year which helps them to increase their by the same percentage they reduce for others. Cost management - A speciality of the company is to manage cost effectively. They will reduce the spent on required things but will spend lavishly on things which are not required e.g. coffee area renovation every 2 years, world class speakers and amplifier to play music in the cafeteria where you can forget the office tension while eating lunch from a provider who cares less. Non biased approach - Top management not biased at all for diversity. They will ensure that there is a diversity at top level even though the person hired at the role doesn't know anything but that's okay as one of the goals of the organisation is to be a top Diversity and inclusive organisation. Fair Management - top management in india is consistently fair and non biased to the organisation goal. Irrespective of being the low cost establishment globally Indian management always ensure that the staff in India consistently gets lesser benefits, perks, bonus, stocks and salary compare to other establishment across globe. Such a dedicated management is rarely seen...Read More

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
