Pros

Working at Chevron for 33 years both at a management and individual contributor level, With such a large multinational, if you love to change and evolve, you can have more than one career. You need to be flexible, adaptable, willing to relocate and have a desire to constantly learn new aspects of the energy business. With this approach, you will do well at Chevron even to the point that it doesn't seem like work at all - more a way of life!

Cons

Occasionally pointless internal politics, mindlessly forced ranking, excessive inflexibility of infrastructure and the often media fueled stigma around working for "Big Oil" are the only real downsides

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.
