Chevron IT Review

Pros

Benefits are excellent, friendly co-workers, flexible work schedules, yearly bonus, opportunities for advancement are good to excellent, depending on your networking skills

Cons

Chevron has been outsourcing or downsizing IT professionals for the last five years or so. Chevron does not value IT employees and views them as overhead to be cut when budget trimming is necessary.

Pros

Employee benefits and community involvement. 9/80 and flexible work schedules allow for family balance.

Cons

Depending on the "function" you support, work-life balance may be optional. Training and development seem to be managers discrection and not the choice of the employee. Not many standards for Managers/Supervisors to adhere to and performance goals are definately hit or miss. Most seem to be made up which makes it difficult to assess how one makes it to category 1 if your hard work but it is group specific and irrelavent to ranking teams.
