Minpunten
Last two managers I've had have been horrible. These are the 25plus year managers who probably have not taken manager training in a long time and manage by intimidation and wonder why their employees are not giving them their best. Very conservative company. Business casual, no jeans. You can sit next to someone for months and they will not say hi to you if you aren't in the same team. Too much training for low-risk employees. Too many layers of management that cause lots of delays in making business decisions. Behind the times with creating and fostering for a younger employees so no wonder after someone interns here they would rather move on to another company. Chevron fosters career development but only to cater to Chevrons needs. I've been told I don't need any additional certifications or an MBA. If you have to switch jobs internally, there is a committee that you have to trust to decide where you should go although they go through the paperwork of making you think you're applying for a job you like only to be told you are going to go into another position that you didn't apply for. They only give you 5 minutes to think about if you'll accept the job or stay where you are at which just puts you on a blacklist for future jobs. Also the good jobs are already slated to Chevron MBA program employees, a rotational development program, or a hi-po in which most middle career employees are not qualified to join.
