Pros

It's a slow-pace environment where you can get comfortable. No micromanaging by supervisors (although that may be unique to my experience) Decent work-life balance.

Cons

Very conservative culture - typical to the oil and gas industry, seemingly. A bit slow moving and not completely compatible with Gen Y expectations. People are very tolerant of "everyone's ideas"...this is good, for the most part, but I find it a bit tedious to have to listen to all the BAD ideas and thoughts.

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.
