Pros

- Great work life balance (9/80 Schedule). - Friendly colleagues. - Interesting projects with tangible real-world impact. - You can make a career here, rather than just a job.

Cons

- Dysfunctional operating model with too many agile ceremonies which leads to slowness and confusion. - Pay is below par although good benefits (great 401K match for example). - Supervisors are good, but higher leadership just pontificates rather than set clear technical directions or an inspiring vision for growth. - Questionable long-term future with changing energy demands. - Company is more focused on run-and-maintain rather than growth. - Talk of layoffs and outsourcing in 2025.

Pros

Exposure to working with different departments, different groups of people, different projects that are challenging. Chevron values how you approach challenges and delivering results instead of just delivering results. Chevron also has guardrails on what behaviors the company is looking for in their employees when working with others. I feel psychologically safe here, included here, and I trust the company to giving me some world class training on technical projects from experts. This company gives me hope to fulfill my ambitions. A new found hope that I haven't found in my ten years of experience. I also have a boss who cares about developing others, which is probably why I have many pros. There is a focus on COLLABORATION instead of competition here. I'm also at a point in my life where I don't want to work myself to death and Chevron values work-life balance. Chevron practices what it preaches in being a human energy, safe company. I am so happy here. I feel like I belong.

Cons

The Midland office seems much more friendlier than the Houston office (no one smiles in the morning and people get surprised when I tell them to have a good day. In Midland, telling people to have a good day is the norm). Process is slow with decision by committee, no one takes ownership of their projects because they know they're in the role for only 2-3 years. Chevron has a reputation of being a slow follower in the industry even though it has a large development footprint. Coming from smaller companies, you have to have patience to move a big ship and spend a lot of time getting alignment with people.
