Pros

Very supportive culture of training and growth. The Horizons program was in its infancy when I started, but it was both a great way to learn new skills that I could employ on the job and the networking was awesome. You had a lot of opportunities to present your work and get involved in different facets of the company.

Cons

There is a joke that if someone asks a question in a meeting and no one speaks up to answer it's called a "Chevron Yes"...so perhaps there is a perceived timidity in some divisions. I saw that sometimes. Bureaucracy...it's going to always be an issue in any large organization

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.
