      A place with great opportunities - but the pace is a bit sluggish

      Pros

      Great pay and benefits. High caliber employees. Multitude of opportunities. Collaboration is valued and supported. Employee networks provide opportunities to find resources and opportunities across the corporation. The global nature of the company offers a lot of opportunities to develop skills that are globally relevant.

      Cons

      Pace is slow. Innovation is not valued appropriately. Decision making is a bit glacial resulting in lost opportunities. International opportunities are few since the focus is on developing the in-country work force. Offshoring sometimes result in decline in quality of service.

      Great Corporate Culture

      Pros

      Having worked at other oil companies in Houston, I call tell you that Chevron's corporate culture is great. In my expereince managers are collaborative, people treat each other with respect, and work/life balance is promoted. My role, while not technical, is still valued by management as a strategic supporter of their business.

      Cons

      Too much process. Chevron's phase-gated process to help manage projects (CPDEP), is a great tool for major capital projects but horrific for smaller ones. It is often used as a weapon for halting a project. In my non-petrotech role I work on smaller projects (under $1 million, often under $500K) and have spent more time using CPDEP than is necessary. It's maddening. There is often a lack of respect from some of the technical employees for anyone without a technical degree.

      Pros

      offer career diversification opportunities during reorganization. steady salary. clear communications on what is changing.

      Cons

      1. Getting limited promotion opportunities as the organization become leaner. 2. The company has limited the hiring of permanent staff, or even contract staff....this is like getting a manager tied for both his hands and legs...and then ask him to run. 3. Fringe benefit is slowly disappearing along the years.
