Pros

Stable employment, worldwide scope of work, excellent technical depth and smart colleagues. Chevron does not skimp when it comes to taking care of its employees. In the oil and gas industry its a great name to have on the resume, as Chevron folks generally know their stuff. Also, the company generally walks the talk about health, safety and the environment, which feels good as an employee.

Cons

The company is very large and can be slow moving at times. Employees have to be very vigilant about moving ahead in their careers, as the company is happy to have you stay in one area and dedicate a career to one aspect of the company. Pay is not as high as other oil and gas companies, especially the independents. The projects can also be big, slow or unwieldy at times.

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.
