Pros

The culture of the company and the people you work with make this company a great place to work for. The company tries to meet your needs personally and at work. The compensation is also to be better of then the competitors. I believe this this is a great company to work for.

Cons

If you are a business major, it is hard to advance. It may be difficult to change departments within the company. If you are a finance major, try to stay out of the accounting department. Although this is a great starting department, it is hard to move up or out.

Pros

Great work/life balance! 9/80 work schedule allows the employees to pursue various personal interests over 3-day weekends every other week. Also, pursuing advanced education is strongly supported by providing 75% tuition reimbursement for taking classes while working full-time. Due to its extensive global presence, there are numerous opportunities to work overseas if one desires. You can "switch" careers within the company without quitting by internally posting for open positions.

Cons

So-so pay. Because so many people at Chevron are "lifers" (e.g. average length of employment within its IT company is over 20 years!), it takes a lot of years to really advance upward in your career ladder. Although part-time school education is strongly supported, leaving the company for a full-time program (i.e. full-time MBA) would seem out of place here since not many people do it.
