Chevron reviews

Executive management of the IT function is horrible. Upper management views IT as a money pit, and continually cuts into the budget, sending as much work overseas as they can. Every couple of years the goal seems to be to cut 10%, and no one ever communicates to upper-level executives just how ineffective this strategy is. The remaining workers are expected to 'manage' overseas resources, but they end up just doing the work themselves, since it's virtually impossible to get quality, timely work from overseas team members. Business unit customers complain to IT staff, but those complaints are never communicated higher up - or if they are, it doesn't appear that those complaints make a bit of difference.

Working for a big company like this means there are a lot of job responsibilities that may not directly correlate to your job description but must be done.
