Pros

Work-Life balance is very strong. Pay and package was very competitive. Opportunities for advancement and development are very good depending on where you start/work. High emphasis on employee safety. A lot of opportunities in different roles and functions throughout the company.

Cons

Very large company, and decision making process is very slow.

Pros

1. The company is in a relatively strong position, despite falling crude prices. 2. A great variety of jobs you can apply to with relative ease compared to applying for a job at another company. 3. Great educational benefits (75% reimbursement), although I've heard that they discourage applying to more expensive schools when there is a less costly alternative.

Cons

1. Big organization, so it can be difficult to get things done. 2. The performance management system (PMP) depends on how engaged your manager is in selling your strengths ( this can be good or bad depending on the manager). 3. Relatively low pay for employees with financial backgrounds. Salary increases and promotions for financial employees are "conservative", meaning you don't get anywhere fast, compared to other specialties in Chevron. 4. Recent outsourcing efforts within certain departments contribute to low morale and feelings of job insecurity.
