Pros

Chevron will do it's best to ensure you as a person and employee are happy. Our work life balance, 9/80 Schedule, and benefits are all great! Also, if you choose to, you get the opportunities to make decisions and own your work with little oversite/micromanagement.

Cons

As far as IT/Software engineering goes, Chevron's efforts are about 70% modernization and supporting vendor applications. This can be very low level technical work for folks who want to focus on developing technical skills. If you're lucky and land in the 20% of the company that's doing innovative work is really fun! Also, be prepared to work on a team with almost all contractors from around the world it's good and bad where sometimes if just feels like you're managing projects/people rather than doing the technical work yourself.

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.
