Pros and Cons of working at Northern & Shell - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Northern and Shell

You are (broadly) left to write what you like on the editorial side, so long as you occasionally feature a picture of the proprietor and his wife at some charity event or other. The company is much more interested in counting the money than bothering themselves with the product.

The location was convenient, and there were some nice and friendly colleagues.

The management approach felt very outdated. There was a strong expectation to stay late, and leaving on time was perceived as a lack of commitment rather than a sign of efficiency. There were no bonuses or meaningful perks, and office facilities were very basic. Overall morale was low, with many unhappy faces around the office.
