Good work life balance but NO growth

Pros

Good working environment in terms of balance between work and personal life. Company 'flex' holiday policy one of the best. People share information and team work strongly encouraged.

Cons

Large organization with overkill of internal processes. Spend more money and time on internal business than any focus on customer or market. Growth prospects limited. Not truly a global company. Very few non Americans in senior management.

Pros

Like many of the reviewers have mentioned, with any company the size of Chevron it can sometimes get in it's own way. There can be some very positive aspects of working for Chevron, but not if you are the type of person that wants honest, open two way communication and fair feedback.

Cons

Extremely analytical...too much for it's own good. How is it stated...paralysis by analysis? This is Chevron. Corp Management is afraid of it's own shadow which can often get in the way of trying to control the operating companies.

Pros

Financially secure company. I always felt safe working there because you always knew you'd have a job and a good retirement. Those days are gone.

Cons

Mediocre management. I worked for someone who took 20 years to get from the typing pool to an entry level supervisor. Her road was long and hard, and she made sure yours would be too.
