Pros

Good work life balance opportunity to grow within company very good team environment, employees are treated very respectfully Expat opportunities are possibility

Cons

Too much bureaucracy and politics A lot of chevron way cult, many people hide behind it. you need to know someone to get the right things done Misuse of diversity and inclusion. Nepo kids are clearly preferred for key jobs. Many top positions are filled by 2nd/3rd gen chevron kids

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.
