A great leader with a great vision. He genuinely cares about the company, it's performance and it's people.
Pros
The culture is something that I have not seen in other large corporations that I've previously worked for. The leadership classes that are offered provide a lot of opportunity to move around in the company. Actually movement is encouraged. There is high employee morale, even though we are in the midst of a possible IT re-organization. Though the initial pay can be a bit lower than the average IT job at a computer based company, the annual increases are based on performance reviews and pay can be at a fairly good level after devoting your time at the company a few years.
Cons
Chevron is an energy company and bases it's salaries on energy company wages, even though we have some of the best IT workers and managers in the business and use the latest cutting-edge technology. If Chevron could afford to pay IT workers and managers close to the wages of other IT companies, I believe that there would be less employee turnover.
