Pros

To get fired you have to be bad at your job and people have to not like you. Good people work here. You will like your coworkers. 8% match is great plus mega back door roth is possible.

Cons

Company is very stagnant. Essentially, predictable is much more important than good here. IMO most managers are selected by their willingness to take crappy jobs within the company. (Some are good) Work processes are over complex and tedious. People are not direct.

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.
