Pros

Chevron is a company that allows its employees to either focus on their speciality or to experiment in the many areas of the company. One can begin in the Upstream, veer towards the research end, spend some time in new business development, dabble in the downstream and return to the Upstream - where it all begins again.

Cons

While a few years ago there was a concerted push to put more women in management at senior levels, the past year has seen women pushed into service or support roles, or worse, as what has happened in the downstream, pushed aside all together.

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.
