Pros

Top notch company where leaders clearly role model Company values. Great structured leadership development programs. Lots of opportunity to work overseas. Competitive pay and benefits. Great opportunities to work in different functional areas if you are a proven performer.

Cons

Very little negative. Takes a little longer to move up the ranks due to size and scope.

Pros

Excellent training provided to employees and the easy moves to and from organizations within the company for those that like a variety of challenges. Chevron is a technology company that just so happens to operate within the energy industry.

Cons

Because of the size of Chevron it can be difficult at times to completely understand how your specific work activities fit into the corporate mechanism; however, this can be overcome once you get into the organization and gain a full understanding of how vertically integrated oil companies organize themselves.

Pros

- Very professional and friendly work atmosphere; great people to work with. - Casual dress at field locations. - Great benefits and perks (too many to list them all). Flexible schedules, most facilities have onsite gym, massage, advanced egonomic equipment, cafeteria's / catering, etc. - Focus on diversity, safety, protecting the environment and community engagement. - Supportive managers that really care about employees and help to develop their careers. - Training programs internal and external. Also potential for compensation of higher education.

Cons

- A lot of variation in the physical office environments. Some nice innovations with green / leed certified buildings but overall tends to be traditional and bland. - Some of the HR rules and practices that prevent pay and promotion from being aligned with actual contribution and proven performance. - Its a big company so much of one's experience may depend on work group. - Opportunities may be limitied for those that aren't PetroTech's, don't have a degree or are not highly mobile.
