Pros

Chevron is a great company with many different areas of operations. We are in the oil and gas industry, but we still are still a huge international organization, so even if you're not an engineer, we still have positions for you! Over the course of your career, you'll get to learn many different things both about the oil and gas industry and also just about your current position and skills. Chevron promotes trainings in all types of skills needed in order to do your job to the best of your abilities. Since Chevron is such a large organization, there are many different job opportunities in many different parts of the world. This creates a sense of having multiple careers with the same company! Chevron has VERY flexible schedules. First off, most employees in most areas work a 9/80 schedule. This means that you work 9 hours / day Mon - Thurs, 8 hours on Friday, and then every other Friday you have off! For the most part, there is no set time that you need to be "at work." For the most part, the unspoken rule is to show up by 9:00 am...but if you are not able to and you show up at 10:00 am, as long as you work your full 9 hours, no one cares when you come in (unless you have morning meetings...of course).

Cons

Since Chevron is such a big company, there are a lot of politics in terms of raises, salaries, promotions, etc. Your peers are rated against you and that's how management determines if you will get a raise or not. So...if everyone in your team is great at what they do and so are you...you might not get as big of a raise simply because you don't stand out as much.

Pros

The top reason for working at Chevron Shipping is probably visibility, which will help you to land satisfactorily into your next position. Also, from a technical perspective, some very interesting tools are made available to you, which can be quite rewarding in terms of adding to one's experience and knowledge. There is no doubt that the company has been able to assemble a large group of very qualified professionals, with which it is very nice to interact on a daily basis. There is frequent mobility amongst those professionals, which propitiates good exchange of experience and information - most managing positions are given to individuals already within the company.

Cons

Excessive workload and too many meetings. Little room is left for individual decision making.
