Pros

Pay and Benefits are oustanding compared to local region. They treat their employees very well with catered events, bonuses, and flexible work schedules. Great oppportunties to move within the company and around the world for new and old employees.

Cons

Dealing with consultants and high expectations with full-plates. Too many consultants and mix of workers make it hard to see who is a Chevron employee and who isn't.

Pros

The benefits are great, the 401k match is extremely good. There is a huge growth opportunity since the baby boomers are retiring in the next ten years, so a lead position in the next five years is not out of the question. If you are looking for international opportunity then look no further, Chevron is truly a worldwide company. It is also one of the last big companies that offer a 401k match as well as a pension. I also sincerely believe that Chevron is trying to move towards incident-free operations. The work/life balance is something that is also stressed here, which is a refreshing change from some of the other companies I have worked for. The bottom line is that I go to work and I actually enjoy my job and the people around me.

Cons

Senior Leadership sometimes can have double standards which is a tad disheartening. There is also a bit of the good-ole boy attitude that still survives here, but that is fading as the baby boomers retire. The nine hour workday is also a bit of a drag, but having every other friday off more than makes up for it. Also, it seems like if you work hard on regular work, you aren't recognized nearly as much as if you lead a group in some project. I know other people have this problem as well, but this is probably the same throughout our industry. If you want to excel here, you need to garner leadership roles, and not worry too much about day to day work.

Pros

Opportunity for advancement. Also with the size of the company, their are constant opportunities to try something different.

Cons

Sometimes the size of the company can be a hinderance as well. There can be times where we have a lot of processes and unnecessary hoops to jump through.
