Chevron reviews

Sometimes the org gets myopic, heavily discounting the value of experiences and methods used outside of its own boundaries or the oil and gas industry. Too risk adverse in areas where failure is not catastrophic. In resource extraction, transportation, and refining (how we make money) you can't afford one mistake. But in performance management, project management, planning methodology, etc., there is a lot that can be learned from others.

The rotating 12 hour shifts are hard to deal with especially when you add in all the overtime you have to work. I worked 60-72 hours per week on average for 3 years. Seniority dominates the culture at Chevron.
