Pros

Great work/life balance! 9/80 work schedule allows the employees to pursue various personal interests over 3-day weekends every other week. Also, pursuing advanced education is strongly supported by providing 75% tuition reimbursement for taking classes while working full-time. Due to its extensive global presence, there are numerous opportunities to work overseas if one desires. You can "switch" careers within the company without quitting by internally posting for open positions.

Cons

So-so pay. Because so many people at Chevron are "lifers" (e.g. average length of employment within its IT company is over 20 years!), it takes a lot of years to really advance upward in your career ladder. Although part-time school education is strongly supported, leaving the company for a full-time program (i.e. full-time MBA) would seem out of place here since not many people do it.

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.
