Business Outlook

Pros

Digital transformation is beginning to help with those out there that want to be code. Chevron is starting to realize they need to use the latest software technologies to compete in the market. People are nice and work life balance is great with Friday’s off every other week.

Cons

Candid feedback from managment is rare. It is hard to be mentored if you want to be a software engineer, because there is a huge tech gap with not enough experienced people that can write good code.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great culture, talented people, superb ethics, very methodical company with strong process procedures. Very progressive on women, LGBTQ and global heritage employees. Excellent on broad based communication.

Cons

Can be clannish in certain business segments but this is generic to most organizations. Those anointed as high potentials can avoid risky assignments while those who produce but are not designated high potential can gain advantage by taking those same risky assignments.
