Promote from elite program graduates with stereo typed resumes only. Very hard for others to get ahead.

Pros

- If you want to coast along and are a "yes" person, definitely the place for you - If you don't mind being treated as a child it is a good place to work - Chevron is best in class at ignoring prior work experience and wanting to continue to do things the way they have always been done - Broad range of international location if expat role is in your plans - Salaries are competitive

Cons

- Prior work experience almost a negative because makes your re-programming even more difficult. If one is not a Chevron "lifer", then it is tough to get respect or elevation into the "club" and certainly never obtain a leadership role in the organization - Worst/subjective employee appraisal system on the planet. All it takes is one person with mildly negative feedback and your rating will disproportionately suffer - Getting the job done well, on time/budget counts far, far less than how the job is done. The balance is extremely twisted - Middle and senior management rarely have experience outside of Chevron and this myopia will be frustrating - They have turned their project management process into a lethargic beast that does little other than significantly increase project costs and time - Chevron seems to be incapable of executing their projects whether major capital or small IT projects on a budget or timescale that most people would consider reasonable - High commodity prices let CVX get away with many mistakes

Pros

work/life balance, 401K pckg, and decent salary

Cons

diversity is just a lip service meaning its not applied when giving promotions. Look at the team leads, managers, senior management..what do you see.. old white men who have been with company for ATLEAST 25 years. annual performance review is based on stupid ranking structure which is very very subjective and not at all objective. stop making so many stupid powerpoint slides and actually make decisions. stop hiding behind safety safety culture. career development plans are a big joke just to make the employee feel good.. not the place for people who are high potentials who want to move up fast. standard line: one needs to put atleast 20 years in the company to get somewhere,..
