Pluspunten
- If you want to coast along and are a "yes" person, definitely the place for you - If you don't mind being treated as a child it is a good place to work - Chevron is best in class at ignoring prior work experience and wanting to continue to do things the way they have always been done - Broad range of international location if expat role is in your plans - Salaries are competitive
Minpunten
- Prior work experience almost a negative because makes your re-programming even more difficult. If one is not a Chevron "lifer", then it is tough to get respect or elevation into the "club" and certainly never obtain a leadership role in the organization - Worst/subjective employee appraisal system on the planet. All it takes is one person with mildly negative feedback and your rating will disproportionately suffer - Getting the job done well, on time/budget counts far, far less than how the job is done. The balance is extremely twisted - Middle and senior management rarely have experience outside of Chevron and this myopia will be frustrating - They have turned their project management process into a lethargic beast that does little other than significantly increase project costs and time - Chevron seems to be incapable of executing their projects whether major capital or small IT projects on a budget or timescale that most people would consider reasonable - High commodity prices let CVX get away with many mistakes
