Pros

Raises are consistent, great benefits, excellent work/life balance. Deadlines are usually realistic and projects (in my BU) are adequately staffed. Senior management has a clear and well communicated plan and seems highly competent.

Cons

It's difficult/impossible to be allowed "outside your box" if you are in certain engineering disciplines. Leadership talks a great game about being able to post for stretch positions internally but they always deny approval when the time comes. If you like to move around to continue learning new things you're likely to get bored.

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.
