Pros

#1 pro = High, competitive pay. Great benefits. 401k match. Flexible hours. Can work from home occasionally if the nature of your job allows it. 9/80 work schedule (every other Friday off). Performance management and reviews are, for the most part, fair and generous as long as you're a top performer. Challenging work.

Cons

Even with a flexible schedule, expect to work lots of overtime/weekends, especially during busy project seasons. Lots of favoritism happens in every work group. Random layoffs/reorgs, even more so now that most jobs/functions are moving to Houston, Texas. Must be willing to relocate to get the best job opportunities/promotions.

Pros

I have worked for chevron for most of my adult life. Chevron is a great company to work for, but has its challenges like every other work place. Benefits are good, pay is good, and the schedule I work is great when properly staffed (if not there is forced overtime). The company offers a lot of opportunities to advance, but you really have to look and go hard after the opportunities. There are good incentives like educational reimbursement.

Cons

It's is a difficult environment to navigate. The top end is to heavy with management and needs to be thinned out. The focus is on cost which is understandable as it is a business, but that does interfere in a large amount of cases preventing us from spending what is needed for reliability. I guess the best way to put it is tripping over dollars to save dimes. Most businesses have the same problem though.
