Help.. i need to know this.
Because i read that SSSC benefit is diffrent with other Shell subsidiaries.

Any Shell peoples ?

Shell Shared Serviced Center IMO they consolidate ppl from all areas into 1 building in Cyberjaya.

Shell Business Service Center i think is the SITI in Cyberjaya gua.

umm yeah we had a restructure this year, benefit in Cyber is diff with Shell Msia benefit dy. Cut cost activity

in future, Shell will only consists 2 groups of ppl....Business and Business support...business will base in new office in KL sentral...and Business support will base in U-village(another new office) in cyberjaya..basically the new building behind ericsson building....almost everyyr we have OR and MOR lah..keep on chopping ppl...like what TLs said..."get your bag ready to go anytime"...

shell shared service changed name to shell business service centre.
They will move to cyberjaya next year.

So Shell Business Service Centre is same with SSSC, and their benefit should be the same?

How is the standard benefit of Shell Business Service ? Have allowance?

This post has been edited by yehlai: Sep 29 2010, 09:20 PM

You shall ask HR abt the benefits as different Job Groups/departments have different allowances..... the standard benefits are medical, dental, optical, car allowance (regardless you own a car or not), hp allowance, broadband allowance, 8 days mandotary courses (external and internal), standby/on-call allowance, flexi working hours, can work from home...if u are in higher Job group then your benefits will be similar to Shell Malaysia Trading which even better (access to use shell's holiday banglows in MY, Housing loan, etc)
Instead of worry abt the benefits, you shall consider if you able always keep your competency levels on par with shell requirements....in other companies, as long u don't resign then you still have your work...but in Shell things change very fast and if u not competent enough then bye bye lor...

may i know what is the requirement for work in shell?
what skill i need to be prepare 1st?

>>> can you advise what you mean by : but in Shell things change very fast and if u not competent enough then bye bye lor...
any examples ?

working in shell especially in MY is very different from other companies. In other, companies u will get promotion within ur current position and get increament annually even u r in the position for 10 or 20 yrs... E.g. u working as an account in department A, maybe after 5 yrs u will promoted to Sr.Account within department A and so on...but this will not happen in shell (as far i know). In shell, your seniority and title are nothing as JG (job group) is more important and JG is determine by the natural of that position and scope of responsibilities.. So, if you are JG7 in ur current role then forever u will be still JG7 after 10 yrs or 20 yrs as long u still in ur current role. Your annual increament and max salary range also determine by ur JG. e.g. if ur JG max salary is RM8K then once u reach that max level, u will not get anymore annual increament no matter how outstanding you are.
Thus, in order to upgrade or jump from 1 JG to another JG then you must keep on upgrading ur competency levels as every JGs has their own set of competencies . So, some of you may think as long i am happy doing what i am doing now and happy with the salary even there is no increament then u can forget of upgrading ur competency levels then you are wrong. Shell is very active in cost cutting now thus they are merging alot jobs and positions currently(more heads on chopping board) and this is ongoing stuff thus if you are affected and you want to apply other jobs within shell but u are not competent enough so you will treat as redundent and will be ask to leave or VSS.

To summarised, you shall only need to worry abt your competency levels and work hard; shell will take care the rest for you. Remember, you are the one looking for job and keep on looking for jobs in shell

actually, sbsc is not the same with shell anymore. the benefit is greatly reduced....recently many ppl resign from their finance dept. one of them is my friend. she says she cant take it anymore. soon, there will be a massive recruitment for finance, according to her. But, im not sure as Im not there. She also says something about transferring their work to other countries(i dont ask in detail, just listen as she is very sad that time)....to be frank quite dangerous.

can i know what are the benefit for working in shell business centre? i just gone for the interview and the interviewer told me that shell business centre benefit is much lesser than shell, but they are improving.

improving ? if they want to improve doubt they will cut cost at the first place.

how you know that they are cutting cost? u work there before? any idea what is happening with shell business centre recently?

some correction

if you read other threads as well as some of the postings, you would be able to deduct :

1) shell is restructuring a lot of times, this is due to trying to globalize all different business and to become a competitive oil and gas player
2) shell is realigning the structure to group things to an entity that can be outsourced later
3) shell is now as good as other companies, which means the benefits and salary MIGHT have been downgraded, to allign with other MNCs are providing
4) many left is a usual reflection of such moves due to better offer, inconvenience location, cut off benefits due to creation of a service entity(that makes
it's employees feel something major is being taken away from them, usually family man) as well as mushrooming of new business service centres of
other companies that chooses Malaysia as a low cost area to leverage the cost, which is also
competing with Philipines and India.
5) a shift of opportunities move from the west to asia pacific, therefore many trying to fight for positions in Asia Pacific with the locals.

again, above are my opinion only. however if you decided to join, do look at the experience people's face, NOT fresh graduate face. For those fresh graduate whether come in under the graduate scheme or into service desk jobs....they are just "termakan" with the jenama SHELL, so as cheerful as you can get...for those experience ones, you might suspect it is the season for period or mid-life crisis, but it's NOT. And when you ask, their mouth will be more than wonderful to sing the sorrow song for you to hear....

there's only a few employee that face will always be glad :

1) fresh grad
2) employee that manage to escape from the SITI outsourcing
3) employee that manage to get promotion from service centres terms to shell malaysia terms

but at the end of the day, be happy to have a job lahhhhh....

Thanks for your information, from what i hear from my interviewer today is that, if u being allocate to handle hong kong account, u will be follow their public holiday, if Singapore then follow Singapore.

but what i hope is follow Malaysia as Malaysia is one of the country with most public holiday.

for benefit i really dunno much as i din ask about it but its location in cyberjaya is quite far from my place.

i dunno why, hear a lot of bad comment recently about shell, my colleague also say that shell is cutting all the employee benefit that previously have.
