Pros

Like many of the reviewers have mentioned, with any company the size of Chevron it can sometimes get in it's own way. There can be some very positive aspects of working for Chevron, but not if you are the type of person that wants honest, open two way communication and fair feedback.

Cons

Extremely analytical...too much for it's own good. How is it stated...paralysis by analysis? This is Chevron. Corp Management is afraid of it's own shadow which can often get in the way of trying to control the operating companies.

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.
