Pros

-Highest salary package for entry level -Wellness program claim

Cons

A great company indeed but unlucky to get bad Team Lead. No direct and clear training but expect a new entry person to do and can do most of the part. The worst part being pinned-point and put all the blame when a new policy being implemented and Team Lead didn’t even acknowledge at the first place.

Pros

Professional colleagues, people who want to improve the energy system and actually work on it rather than discuss about it on social media. It is pretty awesome to work at Shell.

Cons

Job security for people in NW Europe with more focus on other regions.
