Pros

Emphasis on safety second to none which is VERY important in an energy company and they really mean it. Best 401k matching funds in industry, profit sharing getting much better recently. Very technology-driven upstream and one can really grow working with the world's best. Many international offices for those with wanderlust. Very good training and career development programs for the youngest to the oldest workers.

Cons

Process-driven to the point that it slows down decision making. In exploration this can result in lost opportunites when quicker reacting companies swoop in ahead of Chevron. Wish they had 100% tuition re-imbursement, not their 75% , for approved work-related college courses.

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.
