I worked at Chevron full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Breadth of opportunities - geographic, technical, cultural
Importance of core business to world economic progress
Generally favorable benefits package, excellent 401K and defined benefit pension provisions
Respectful and safety-conscious workplace
Cons – If you don't want to live in Houston and are a US employee then be warned
Decision making is too often overburdened with process steps followed for their own sake rather than for the benefit they bring to the quality of decisions
Advice to Senior Management – Generally I'm pleased with management's direction - the one exception is my extreme dissatisfaction with their large political contributions and the pressure applied to management level employees to support the Chevron PAC even when personal beliefs are in conflict with PAC activities.

Cons – If you work for a service division, your ability to grow your career is limited.
Moving out of a service division can be difficult.
Workforce optimization often promotes people into management/supervisory positions who aren't aware of the talents of the team, and if layoffs are involved this often leads to valuable team members getting laid off.
Advice to Senior Management – Be very careful about evaluating talent. Talk to members of a team to see what team members are truly valuable and which team members are just taking up space.
