Pros

Chevron has good benefits, and takes care of its employees - as long as the price of oil is high. Great place to be a stockholder.

Cons

If the price of oil dips, employees and contractors are the first place they look to cut. Looking had headcount over the last 10+ years, you can see significant layoffs and firings every time the price of oil drops, and the belt needs to tighten. Shareholder dividend is prioritized over employees.

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.
