Pros

Digital transformation is beginning to help with those out there that want to be code. Chevron is starting to realize they need to use the latest software technologies to compete in the market. People are nice and work life balance is great with Friday’s off every other week.

Cons

Candid feedback from managment is rare. It is hard to be mentored if you want to be a software engineer, because there is a huge tech gap with not enough experienced people that can write good code.

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.
