Pros

Only one - MONEY. Greed is all-powerful at Chevron. A pro is if you're on the "good" side of those in power, you will thrive. Probably have an interesting job, get good opportunities, plenty of raises and praise. The only problem is, how do you get into that club?

Cons

It's a cut throat environment. Women and minorities, especially minorities are blatantly discriminated against. They tout and publicize the few they have but continue to discriminate against the other minorities there.

Pros

- Benefits and 401k are very good - Salary is competitive - Work life balance can be good but it depends entirely on where you work and your manager - Leaders try hard and most are quite intelligent - Co-workers are pretty nice and want to do well

Cons

- If you demonstrate capability and ability to execute, management will assign you more and more work while others that are less capable enjoy their "9/80" schedule (every other friday off) - Recent cuts in Downstream have created a logjam at middle management - Baby boomers are firmly entrenched in their jobs and not going anywhere soon - Downstream is a very tough business to be in, but the company focuses mostly on the Upstream and Gas opportunities. Those businesses can afford much higher cost structures than Downstream, hence Downstream is loaded with unafforadble support costs. - Those in the P&L businesses 'get it' and typically execute, those in the support groups largely are clueless to how the business runs - So many processes and more focus on process development and recording rather than simple executiion - Downstream and business unit leadership constantly coming up with new visions and strategies - Managers and Leaders ask for more and more from their people and then hold supervisors accountable for over-working their teams (how do they think the work gets done???)

Pros

None - Mike Wirth has hired horribly incompetent people, and far right fools who have racist & sexist views. Wirth is a compromised foreign agent who lies.

Cons

Lots of racism and sexism. Forced people to campus, then laid them off in a cruel manner and outsourced their jobs after claiming remote wasn't working. They didn't learn about losing talent and its long term costs from 2014 & have cost shareholders BILLIONS with your short term goals bent on your own bonuses.Absolutely horrible pay if you're in tech, moron Les Copeland has ruined the attitude and ability of IT by pushing away talent. These people are turning this into an evil place.
