Pros

Feel privileged to work here. Its based in San Ramon, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Their 9/80 schedule is unique where you get alternate fridays off in lieu of working 9 hours rest of the days. Great pension plan. If you join this company straight out of college, you will retire comfortably.

Cons

There are a lot of people having old school of thought and therefore it requires a bit of getting used to, especially if you come from a typical silicon valley based IT company. Moreover, most of the IT jobs based in Bay Area are moving to Houston, TX because thats where they have their key businesses. In Dec 2012, about 800 people were asked to relocate or lose their jobs by end of Dec 2013.

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.
