Pros

Good work-life balance. The pace at Chevron is a little slower, so working at an even pace is enough to get you recognized as a high performer.

Cons

Management is old and is really struggling trying to understand recruitment and retention of young talent. Chevron thinks its employment package that was extremely competitive back in the 90's still holds up with the level of employee benefits offered today in California.

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.
