Pros

Big name, good salary, nice office.

Cons

Toxic line managers, red tape to have things done, bullying and victimisation despite good culture on paper, no mechanism to deal with bullies. Line manager is vindictive, insecure and a bully, was made to leave without a warning and marched out of office on the spot, no humanity. Made to work after hours every day and still was prosecuted when had to leave on time one day I had a medical appointment. A colleague was made to watch my every step and report anything he considered wrong( only negative) without my knowledge, or ability to explain, endless and unproductive micromanagement, No acknowledgment of achievements

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.
