Pros

The Chevron Way Values are not just written in a brochure; they are taken seriously and include: Integrity, Trust, Diversity, Ingenuity, and Partnership. The safety culture is very strong, and encourages employees to look out for one another. Health & wellness is also emphasized, including the offering of a 9x80 schedule. My co-workers are diverse, intelligent and dedicated. There are opportunities to work all over the world, for those who are interested in doing so. Networking is encouraged, and salaries are competitive. Activities are process-driven.

Cons

If you want to work from home, this is not necessarily going to be the place for you. This company encourages it's employees to be physically present in the office, presumably in order to take advantage of impromptu collaboration opportunities and the benefits of in-person interactions.

Pros

The paycheck still clears (for now, until your role is moved to Bangalore or Manila). ​The 9/80 schedule used to be a perk, but it’s hard to enjoy a Friday off when you spent the previous four days hunting for a desk like a game of musical chairs.

Cons

The RTO Charade: Leadership loves to talk about "collaboration," but the 4-day Return to Office (RTO) is clearly a quiet layoff tactic. They want people to quit so they don’t have to pay severance. The "Invisible" Office: It’s impressive how Mike Wirth can demand everyone be in the building while simultaneously removing the basic infrastructure of a workplace. No assigned desks, no storage, and literally no trash cans. Apparently, "Human Energy" includes carrying your own garbage home and spending 30 minutes every morning wandering the floor looking for a monitor that actually works. Leadership Vacuum: Les Copland is the definition of a CIO "yes man." Instead of standing up for the integrity of the tech stack or the US workforce, he’s overseen the systematic gutting of IT. It’s a race to the bottom to find the cheapest labor possible outside of the US, leaving the remaining domestic staff to clean up the inevitable mess. The War on American Workers: There is a blatant, aggressive push to minimize the American footprint. We are being phased out in favor of massive outsourcing hubs. You aren't a valued engineer here; you’re an overhead cost that Mike Wirth is looking to delete.
