Fall guys post 2004 debacle left Shell but the rest of the people who helped perpetrate the fraud are very much in Shell. You should see the way these executives throw their weight around - and still strut around proudly trampling whoever in Shell comes there way.

Shell is inward looking and lacks competence. Project management being one example. Post 2004 scandal, Shell initiated a massive Corporate-wide transformation Program called Downstream-One. It is an expensive program (~$9 Billion or so from 2006-2011). However, the governance and audit standards are often flouted blatantly. They are wasting investor monies! Downstream-One runs out of Shell Center in London and it has around 3000 consultants nevermind other programmers! Shell employee to Consultant ratio in Shell Center is 1:5
Program is full of infighting, corruption and unethical decisions, involving both business and employees!

One poor soul, who was quiet senior in this program, dared to internally whistle-blow into bad management. The individual is being bullied and harassed by immediate seniors and threatened to undergo Performance Reviews (ofcourse leading to dismissal!)

Shell is full of scoundrels and unscruplous people and if one has to survive Shell one has to be one of them or become one soon or leave!
New Hires, especial at lateral positions find such environment shocking. I do understand that 2 VPs, who joined Shell 3 years ago, quit recently, as well and the individual in London is also planning to quit soon.

Shame on you Shell
