Former Employee – worked at Chevron Shipping

Pros – The top reason for working at Chevron Shipping is probably visibility, which will help you to land satisfactorily into your next position. Also, from a technical perspective, some very interesting tools are made available to you, which can be quite rewarding in terms of adding to one's experience and knowledge. There is no doubt that the company has been able to assemble a large group of very qualified professionals, with which it is very nice to interact on a daily basis. There is frequent mobility amongst those professionals, which propitiates good exchange of experience and information - most managing positions are given to individuals already within the company.

Cons – Excessive workload and too many meetings. Little room is left for individual decision making.

Advice to Senior Management – Allow more room for the professionals within the company to make decisions: they have experience enough!

Former Employee – worked at Chevron Shipping as a contractor for more than 3 years

Pros – Safety work ethics played a big part in making sure we got back home in one piece, There was also a mind set that gave us confidence in the company and made it easier to focus on the job at hand

Cons – Way too much paper work. I'm sure there are simpler and more efficient ways to ensure operations are carried out safely and correctly. There is a lot of tension caused mainly due to the paper work, more so than due to the actual operation
