“The graduate program at Shell is a three to five year program and it rotates you through different roles. So for me it was a great taster in the different areas you can work in finance. I started in that skill pool. And I also had the opportunity to do an international assignment for a year.”

“One of the best things about working at Shell is the Shell community. So Shell has a wide variety of networks. It has Asian network, African American network, it has a women’s network, which helps you form a community outside just the team you’re working in in the wider network within Shell. And there are tons of events and speakers that Shell has internally and brings in externally for your development.”
