Nope to Shell...esp if you are a US employee...."if you ain't Dutch, you ain't much"
Working for XOM and Shell, you are constantly worrying about layoffs, like all the time.
XOM 5 year total return: 95.76%
SHEL 5 year total return: 30.52%

No to both.
I worked with some very bright Gen Z interns over the summer. I would never suggest they work for Shell after college. Take your talents elsewhere my young friends. Shell will crush your spirit and your career.
I am happily making covered calls on my Shell positions till I completely divest out if Shell (7k odd shares). I met some of the best technical minds while at Shell whose abilities and careers were pruned by upper management for their own self serving agendas. I hold degrees from Rice/Princeton and took immense price in the Pectan. Never would I have thought that I would not be recommending Shell to Gen Z, not under the current crop of management who are on course to shrink the company to irrelevance
No way. XOM has cash flow to swim in it.
Stay away as far as you can! XOM is solid and well disciplined. Shell has this Euro-superiority complex. They are still a so called super-major due to easy access to bank largesses from colonial-loot. No real substance, only diplomacy and sugar sugar-coating. Shell’s way is to make a simple problem complex and then solve it only to get everyone more confused and end of the day err!
No.
