Pros

Salary is very good. Very challenging place to work, exposure to a wide variety of interesting situations requiring imaginative solutions. Working here as absolutely strengthened me as a professional.

Cons

Benefits are not as good as one might think. Management does not take responsibility for the environment they have created and, as a result, many situations that should not be adversarial become so, which adds a dimension of challenge that is unnecessary. Worse, though upper management preaches work/life balance, lower management by their actions disagrees and virtually all personnel with which I interact are extremely overloaded, and protests fall on deaf ears. I do not recommend working here.

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.
