- Heavily weighted for people with more tenure in the company
+ At least there is a small amount that is paid "free," even if it starts at 2%

Shell incentivizes its employees to stay long term. New employees receive 2% company contribution (not matching, simply a free contribution). At 5 years, it goes to 5% and at 10 years, it goes to 10%, the best in the industry. This is in addition to a Pension, not in lieu of it.
