Chevron is extremely poorly ran...
Chevron leaders have massive egos, little substance and are shockingly unimpressive. This collective leadership has convinced themselves they are top tier. Behind closed doors, if you are not a C Level executive... You are nothing.
Culture and moral are garbage...
My time is done and I'm glad to be out. What a po-p show.
I wish more Noble and PDCE people stuck around, but you can understand why they would leave.
Another legacy Hess here, yes the Chevron experience has been quite disappointing.
As a mid career someone who has recently joined Chevron, the absurdity of how Chevron values seniority over improvement is disgusting. I have been told by management numerous times that although my recommended solution will save the company money and is easier to deploy since I am “new” to Chevron we cannot implement the system. That is the problem with Chevron. They think like a union. Seniority does not necessarily mean someone is right. It can mean they are stale and old. Why hire experienced people if all you want them to do is take direction from younger managers who don’t understand how things work, but have more years of service at Chevron?
Have not worked with Hess or pdc people yet but the noble people I have worked with are really good. It is kinda refreshing to bring new perspectives to the company. We need more of that.
As one of the few pdce folks remaining, I can tell you that it's very easy to outwork and out perform legacy Chevron employees. Their broad based knowledge is very limited and the willingness to learn is lower.
Sorry you got bought after MW. Wasn’t that way before
@ce I’m under the impression Chevron has to acquire assets because the complete and utter lack of internal technical skills means they can’t develop their own organically. The list of home grown successes over the last 10-15 years is what’s truly weak.
Sorry - I was under the impression Chevron bought Hess and Noble and that the strong eat the weak
Former Noble here. Can confirm - Chevron generally is all sizzle, no steak. I’ve had great upward trajectory here - not because I’m that good (I’m pretty average actually), but because my peers are empty suits, spending all their career learning the Chevron game, but not real skills. It’s laughable how easy it is to outclass them on execution. Add in some faux humility and Chevron performative hand waving - sky’s the limit.
My personal experience is our legacy Noble people are better than our legacy Hess people.
The world keeps changing. Hess was a shell of what it was even 10 years ago when acquired. Vaya con dios.
