Pros

While employed with Chevron it was what looked to be my "last stop". But to my surprise proof! Just like that we were sold! To a low ball company with no experience in any offshore oilfield related business ownership. The most unprofessional experience I have ever had, watching all of upper management leave us (brown nosers in tow) stranded, wondering what in the world is going on? What did we all do? Am I not experienced enough? Did I not work hard enough? What can we do to keep our carrers?

Cons

Very clickish, if your not doing favors for management you will have a miserable employment.

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.
