Pros

No doubt, Chevron can be a great place to work when looking at all employers, but do not be blinded to other opportunities elsewhere. I have had worse jobs, but also had better. They pay fair, give yearly bonuses. Raises are tied to performance, but a lot of times it is not what you do, but who is looking after you. (It can be frustrating when you commit so much but do not receive the carrot, they dangle over you)

Cons

The higher up you get, the more political it becomes. I worked there almost 10 years. It was good, but not all roses, it is not always what you do, but who you know. I was lied to about a new job I took within the company and relocated my whole family across the country. When I got there, I was not given the salary bump of the job I was hired to do (higher PSG) and given a bunch of bad excuses after I got there and didn't get my pay bump. It put a bad taste in my mouth. In 2021 I decided I needed to leave, I was stuck in a rut where I didn't want to be and wasn't able to grow. Fortunately, they were restructuring after COVID and I was offered a severance package to leave. (I was planning on leaving anyway) So I hung on almost 6 months until I got the severance check. In my opinion you will be discriminated against if you are a white male. It is not blatantly obvious, but there is such a push for more diversity that it became more obvious as time went on. I suspect there will be a lawsuit in the near future. (if there is not already) During the company restructuring in 2021 they tracked what races were being let go because they did not want to let to many minorities go. Minorities were kept even if they were low performers. I bought it up in a meeting that race should not be considered, and that it was illegal to make decisions based on race. The response I got was they were only tracking it because they did not want to make decisions based on an unconscious bias. (it felt like a BS answer to me, you should only look at performance and race should not be considered)

Pros

Great focus on work-life balance. Many opportunities to change jobs and learn new functions

Cons

Mgmt shows no loyalty to tenured and experienced employees no matter how much you sacrificed and showed your loyalty in your career. As soon as there is any adversity, the company goes through a downsize and keeps mostly young and fresh out of college workers with questionable work ethic. Under current Mgmt I give Chevron 5-10 years before it goes under or has to shrink to a shell of its former size. A-hole supervisors who make employees' lives miserable face few consequences if they kiss butt to their higher-ups, which many of them do!
