Pros

You work with the best and brightest people in their fields. Benefits and pay are excellent. The work is challenging rewarding, and exciting to be involved with a major company in developing their assets.

Cons

Layoffs are the downside to working in the oil and gas industry. If you make an error at the wrong time in the business cycle, you are expendable despite your accomplishments. I enjoyed having a lot of autonomy in performing my work, but when I needed advice from my supervisor during a management transition, no one was available.

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.
