Pros

- great opportunities with good pay, especially if you work in a low cost region - company strategy is solid and in each downturn they really try to keep people - benefits are aligned with oil and gas industry

Cons

- for functions outside of oil and gas core such as IT, the benefits aren't aligned with IT roles in IT companies. This was fine 15 years ago, but today IT companies are poaching talent consistently - corporate policies suck the life out of middle managers who have very little room to adjust to employees needs - at times, nepotism and favoritism happen when hiring or promoting into new roles - "inclusion" policies and efforts are only inclusive for some...

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.
