Chevron reviews

A lot of politics. Few great leaders. Many weak leaders/managers that select other weak leaders. Managers too far-removed to be able to judge an employee's true value and impact to the business....too often based on perception. Performance reviews are too subjective and not data-oriented (again goes back to the Manager not being able to decipher what is valuable feedback and what is not). Decision-making is not transparent and Managers often fail to involve their work group and solicit valuable input (who knows the job and the needs better than the person doing it). Instead, they put more weight on input and opinions from peers (other Managers).

Pace is slow. Innovation is not valued appropriately. Decision making is a bit glacial resulting in lost opportunities. International opportunities are few since the focus is on developing the in-country work force. Offshoring sometimes result in decline in quality of service.
