Pros

The 9 day fortnight is excessive but attractive to those who don't live to work. The structure in terms of career development and progression is first class. The safety culture is a bit over the top for office personnel, but I guess it has created a strong sense of shared values.

Cons

There is an air of snobbery from some of the employees to their contractor counterparts. They are hung up on having a degree and therefore miss out on a lot of talented personnel. There are too many layers of management.

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.
