Pros

Great benefits. Pension 401K and excellent compensation. Good work experience if you work in Upstream. Plenty of opportunities in USA and overseas. Good training program in Horizons. I wasn't a big fan of relocation and I ultimately wanted to go into working in the refinery in Downstream.

Cons

Not very open to employees moving around in business units. Business unit I worked for was a black hole for employees. Also, employees are marked with a black tag if you refuse to move to where the company needs you. Even if your transparent about your personal needs, the end goal is the company's profit.

Pros

The people at Chevron are great - friendly, helpful, smart, diverse. The company truly has a team culture. Excellent focus on safety. Lots of wonderful career opportunities within one company.

Cons

Advancement in such a big company often depends to a large degree on who you know, not on your work quality. Unless you have a powerful "sponsor," you can get bypassed in terms of career advancement. Also too much focus on consensus decision-making. Requirement of global mobility for high potential employees is hard for employees in career couples, especially women.
