Pluspunten

Excellent work/life balance, good compensation, and training! Every 2nd Friday is off with their 9/80 schedule. Some smarter folks avoid meetings on any Friday, thus you never know what schedule they are on and if they are ever in the office on Fridays. Most of the work is done through contractors, thus in reality it is not clear why an oil company would be penny pitching their employees. And Shell does not! A million here, another million there, thus it is far more important to ensure that people are happy and do not squander the money on contractors in order to retaliate.

Minpunten

Big and bureaucratic, but nothing is perfect. The IT systems are quite dated and crappy, run by some outsourcing shop in India or wherever. A lot of dead wood, that is quite proficient in the appearance of being highly busy at all times.

Pluspunten

Early career engineers are given significant ownership and exposure to complex operational challenges. Strong focus on safety, technical development, and collaboration across disciplines. Opportunities to work on high-impact projects, interact with senior leadership, and contribute to decisions affecting major assets and infrastructure.

Minpunten

Workloads can be demanding, and priorities can shift quickly based on operational needs. Decision-making processes can be slow due to organizational complexity, and geographic mobility may be necessary for certain career opportunities.
