Pros

I've worked with Chevron for almost 7 years but I moved on because of career change. The Chevron Way - this encompasses all the good things about Chevron. This is the foundation of their vision, values and strategy. The company has an effective way of inculcating this to their employees that I also apply the values in my personal life. Safety - this is an utmost importance to Chevron. From processes, people and the environment. I love the sit-stand work station, the specialist who regularly checks if the ergo setup is right, the compulsory work pace breaks, the fit breaks, the culture that really values safety.

Cons

The downside I can share is specific to my experience and does not represent the whole of Chevron. I wanted to move to IT but I had no IT background so it was a challenge. I believe there's just few of us who had this challenge because Chevron supports career development; there's just no opportunity at that time and perhaps the timing is not right. Although my main reason for leaving is career change, I was also dissatisfied on the review of pay scale grade relevant to my role (projects) before I left the company.

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.
