Pros

Most folks are nice. Folks without qualifications or experience can thrive by simply being a good politician. Visible diversity is valued, especially gender.

Cons

A bit like being in Japan. Nice to your face, but behind your back who knows. Folks without qualifications or experience will likely be your manager. Only certain classes of visible diversity are valued. Furthermore, diversity of thought is not valued.

Pros

The 9/80 work week was good, but they did not give you any extra money to enjoy the area (poverty level for that area).

Cons

Got a really lowball offer for a manager position in San Ramon, when applying for an application analyst position. It was less than a than an entry fresh out of college graduate with no work experience, which they actually had published in one of their articles. If you have 15 years of experience they should never try to have someone living in poverty requiring multiple jobs just to be able to live in the area, what kind of quality of work do you expect from your employees. Check the toilet paper in the employee restrooms if it is still thin and crumbles up, RUN! The lobby had nice paper for the visitors but once went inside the glass doors there was a huge difference in the amenities.

Pros

pay well, international travel, good development opportunity

Cons

too process focused. Instead of teaching lower level management how to manage, they just create a new process and forget it after 5 years Chevron is very proud of their inclusive culture, but that culture prevents the expression of any disagreement, even when warranted. This makes it impossible to have a decent technical discussion. This is pervasive to all technical areas.
