Pros

Overall, Chevron is a nice, comfortable place to work. Some pros: 1. Work/ life balance is great. Employees have every other Friday off, in most groups the hours are reasonable and employees are generally not expected to work on weekends. 2. Compensation - employees are well compensated with a very generous 401k match as well as a pension plan. Salaries tend to be similar or slightly higher than the average in the Bay Area. 3. Culture - I have yet to work with someone that I really dislike at Chevron. Employees are nice and care about each other.

Cons

As a large company, there can be quite a bit of bureaucracy. As everyone is so nice, there is a focus on consensus which increases the time for decisions to be made. Managing the politics of engaging all stakeholders and avoiding conflict can be exhausting and lead to inefficiency.

Pros

Decent pay, although I don't know how great the potential for raises really is. They are on a 9/80 schedule, so every other Friday you are off, wich was really nice. Potential to be a great career, I think I was just in a bad department.

Cons

If you are placed in a bad department, then there really isn't much you can do to get out. Management doesn't listen to your suggestions or concerns, even when they ask for them. I was an intern in a department that was going through layoffs every 30 days, so no one wanted to helo the intern out or give me work to help them with because everyone was trying to prove their own self worth. At least in the Finance division, people are not personable and it seems like most of the corporate finance work is about to be outsourced to the Phillippines - again, why would you place and intern in this department?!
