Pros

Values People. Looks to move employees in tough times over layoffs. Cut's contractors first.

Cons

Getting along with others takes priority over delivering results so people tend to try to maintain the peace even if projects have to fail. If you have a tendency to prioritize results over making everyone happy, you may not progress in your career as quickly as expected.

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.
