Pros

The company puts a lot of emphasis on employee safety and work life balance. They have a workpace application installed in each computer onsite that tracks keyboard and mouse use and forces employees to take 5-10 minute breaks if they've been using the computer too much. Can take some getting used to but it benefits employees in the long run.

Cons

The projects are mostly managed by externally contracted project managers so they don't necessary practice good capital stewardship. I experienced being a part of a couple of projects that was post-poned due to poor planning and scoping but ended up using up most of the budget.

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.
