Pros

The ability to self determine work/life balance is great. I don't think everywhere in the company is the same but at Corp. headquarters most managers are very supportive of work/life balance. How, when and where I get my job done is up to me as long aslong as it is high quality and on time. Management is very supportive of continued professional growth in your given field. Some operating companies even require 40 hrs per year of continued education. The company is fully committed to safety and high ethical standards. This is not seen in many other energy companies.

Cons

If you are not an engineer it can be a challenge to move from position to position or across operating companies. The engineers are the most visible and given opportunities (structured and non-structured) to grow and expand skill sets that other carreer tracks are not given.

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.
