Pros

Compensation package, if you work more than 1 year. Attention to health and safety of employees. Flexible schedule and work-life balance.

Cons

If you are energetic, innovative and ready to think out of the box old ole girls/boys team is likely to view you as a challenge and will get rid of you as soon as they learn from you as much as they can. Asking questions to gain deeper understanding of the matter/opinion is treated as challenging professional opinion since very often people provide standard responses without thinking on why something has to be done specific way. Extremely difficult to move things forward to match changing external environment unless you are big boss.

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.
