Pros

I've met some great people there. The culture really values diversity.

Cons

Chevron used to be a great place to work, but lack of foresight (both in the up and down markets) has really lead this company into a bad position. Massive capital projects with snowballing costs have caused management to squeeze their employees for any minute cost savings. They can't even afford to stock our break room with plastic forks.

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.
