Pros and cons of working at Shell Australia
Pros

World class training opportunities and large training budget. Well-structured graduate development program with competence framework to ensure development is encouraged and supported. International travel and work exposure. Outstanding remuneration package.
Travel: I am on an expatriate assignment in New Zealand already, only six months into my graduate program. Training, I have access to some of the best training in the world with Shell. Amazing pay. Challenging work.
Cons
A high proportion of people involved in making tough decisions, execution of plans usually takes more time.
Very large bureaucratic structure increases red tape and slows speed of progress.
Large multinational - expect inefficiencies in slow administrative processes
Shell is a very reporting/business process fulfilling driven company - feels like decisions are made slowly, often re-worked and unnecessary processes are not eliminated
having to go through a number of 'levels' and people to approve things
