Pros

Large corporation like being in the military. Good place for young employees out of college. All decisions are made by committee so no accountability (Not a good thing for me personally).

Cons

Not much room at midlevel for advancment. Don't count on promotions! If you come in from acquired company there's not trust in your abilities... Employees are tired of trying and most are just marking time.

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.
