Pros

- Benefits are great including health, wellness, work/life balance, and flexible schedules - Salaries are comparable and the bonus structure is fair - People are fantastic, friendly, and helpful - Invest in their people and truly care about what they say

Cons

- Slow moving to change as in any big company - Technology is a bit behind and could use some investment - Could use some work in recycling at the offices - Managers move around quite frequently so lessons learned seem to get "re-learned" frequently

Pros

Great value! Liked their Chevron Way to get people to treat each other in respectful way and people DO it that way.

Cons

Too many processes and procedures. Still different business unit has different processes. Information system is not standardized. Too much decentralization.

Pros

SAFETY IS NO. 1 PRIORITY and employees can have a perfect balanced life. If the company is to lose $1,000,000 but to keep one single individual safe, they will lose/spend it without hesiation. Regard for life, environment and communities are also top priorities for the company. Company tenets and values are for real. Individual performance indicators are linked and customized to these values and goals, in a fashion that employees know exactly what to do to achieve them regardless of their position in the company. Good salary and benefits plans, specially expat plans. International travel and mobility is a fact. Employees are heard and their ideas and thoughts are always considered. Everyone felt like they had a voice. Critical thinking is fostered. Great work environment and workload is manageable. Diversity as well as cultural differences are very well respected. Company goals, opportunities, training, career growth and professional development are available and communicated clearly to every one.

Cons

Some mid-level managers (and even a few higher-ups) need extensive interpersonal skills training. They are technical and good professionals overall, but have absolutely no idea how to deal with people and conflicts. In addition, protecting poor-performance employees won't help them learn and move on, and in the end of the day will make the good ones look average or even worst, they won't get the proper recognition.
