Pros

Great Compensation (100k min), most groups offer the option to work 4/10s or 9/80s. Chevron offers U-time to salaried employees(every hour extra worked is banked to be taken off or paid out as straight time twice a year). Very stable company, great benefits 8% 401k match to your 2% min. Very diverse company!

Cons

Depending on your group you will probably work shutdowns and will end up with 300+ hours of extra U-time that you will earn. This company has a history of nepotism, which can be great if your family is also there but not so great if you aren't connected.

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.
