Hello I got a confirmation from HR at Shell that I have been selected for a role and there will be background checks before joining the company. He said the mail will come from a 3rd party vendor for the background verification. It has been 1 week and there has been no mails till now. Is it normal? Should I follow up with the HR again?

Not a discussion. But I was surprised that I got the 10k Sept and 10k April payouts because no PPMD called me beforehand.
Other than that, I only get surprised when there’s a market adjustment (happened twice in 8 years for me). Oh and when I got a bonus after missing 2/3 of my metrics (it was small, but still >0)
Last year after months of hearing how blown away we would be with our raises, quite a few people were “surprised” both by the poor raise and the leaderships insistence that they were very well paid. Of course this went so well the firm began offering retention bonuses and a mid year raise. So good luck on your end…
