Pros

I've worked with Chevron for almost 7 years but I moved on because of career change. The Chevron Way - this encompasses all the good things about Chevron. This is the foundation of their vision, values and strategy. The company has an effective way of inculcating this to their employees that I also apply the values in my personal life. Safety - this is an utmost importance to Chevron. From processes, people and the environment. I love the sit-stand work station, the specialist who regularly checks if the ergo setup is right, the compulsory work pace breaks, the fit breaks, the culture that really values safety.

Cons

The downside I can share is specific to my experience and does not represent the whole of Chevron. I wanted to move to IT but I had no IT background so it was a challenge. I believe there's just few of us who had this challenge because Chevron supports career development; there's just no opportunity at that time and perhaps the timing is not right. Although my main reason for leaving is career change, I was also dissatisfied on the review of pay scale grade relevant to my role (projects) before I left the company.

Pros

- remuneration package is industry leading - work life balance with 9 day working fortnight - supportive environment with structured performance appraisals - skills development opportunities good but usually from your own initiative

Cons

- limited career advancement opportunities. - you HAVE to travel/relocate for career progression and likely to a difficult location for 1st and sometimes 2nd rotation - remote from HQ and upstream BU, limited input to strategies - selective application of Chevron Way principals when it suits can be irksome after a while - very beaucratic, processes and reports for the sake of box ticking.

Pros

People are very good to work with. There safety is hands down number one in the industry. They care about the importance of safety and sending people back home to their families in one piece.

Cons

Salary. They do not pay as much as other companies out there doing the same job. Of course they have better benefits but when you look at the other salaries of companies doing the same job is sometimes almost double!
