Pros

Good company to work for with great work-life balance and safety culture. The company takes care of its employees and focus on their welfare, health and safety above everything. Plenty of opportunities to grow and carve your career with new exciting projects and technologies to work with. You will also work with some of the best people. Good pay and benefits and bonus structure.

Cons

You can get lost in the vastness of the company. It is very important to network with people to get better opportunities. Sometimes it is "who" you know rather "what" you know to advance in your career. Too much red tape in certain cases and processes to go through to get approvals or move projects through.

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.
