As for culture, the most concern for me is many people here mention there is a lot of wayang and meeting and not doing work. My own character is very direct regardless of rank and just say what I think is right and head down to do work asap and move on to next issue. I tell my reports not to call for meetings unless they have something critical and my own boss never call for meeting except for a regular monthly.
In your experience, is Shell like that?

Hi, I am the Ist poster that replied u. I understand your concern. If the package is impt to you among other factors then you may just stay on in current company. I was given a much better package by Shell. To be honest, the pay only increase according to value in job group. They dont pay you even if you are 10 years in the same job group. You got to move on to get higher pay. I think that there may be other reasons for your pay cut. (Which I cant comment much without more info).
I think if you are direct, you can thrive in the culture because everyone is free to speak up. I dont experience what wayang culture here etc. At least with the people I have met. Of course there may be some who wayang. But come on lets me realistic, I think there will be issues/wayang/politics everywhere. As a mid career professional, I have seen much worse places.
At least from my experience all that is said in this forum are not true.
