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.
Don’t have SME, or Right people are not in Right department, For example one with experience in procurement will be asked to work in Technology team, One with strong technical insight will be asked to work in Finance, they are least bothered about the fact that there is something called work experience & subject matter expertise, which is required to do job correctly with quality.

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.
Dislikes
> 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

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
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.
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.

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.
Dislikes
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.

Dislikes
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.
