Pros

- the internship program ensures that assigned projects add value to the team and teaches the intern useful skills - great work/life balance (9/80 schedule, flexible work hours, taking vacations is promoted & not frowned upon) - the culture promotes people to mentor each other (mentoring programs are available, new-employee development programs are mandatory) - moving to a different or higher position is very possible if you have the experience and the network of people

Cons

Working in the oil & gas business is not a stable position to be in, especially as an intern. Open positions are limited and highly competitive among the students. In order to get to the position you want to be in, you have to know people that are willing to stick their neck out for you (and vice versa).

Pros

The people at Chevron are great and overall it's a pretty good company - decent benefits and company culture. The 9/80 work schedule is a great perk. It has struggled to stay competitive with other big employers in California though.

Cons

Leadership has become increasingly out of touch, with regular re-organizations, lay-offs, and offshoring of support/operation functions disrupting day-to-day work and making processes even more slow and bureaucratic. Overall most employees are still wonderful to work with, but the constant leadership mantra of "do more with less" and removal of flexible/hybrid work has definitely reduced morale and made Chevron just another job, whereas it used to be a genuinely enjoyable place to work.
