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
