Pros

Chevron maintains a positive environment and rewards cooperative work versus competitiveness or backstabbing. Lots of opportunities for career growth if you're willing to chronically relocate. Location flexibility is growing and partial remote work exists now.

Cons

Chevron targets 50th percentile in pay amongst its competitors, so nothing special here. The workload is unending and large, so assert yourself. Work the priorities and tune out pushy managers as best you can. It's also gone hardcore unto corporate wokeness, so expect a periodic lecture on pronouns, BLM, or gender identity on occasion. Finally, the company is in denial about the ascendancy if EVs and alternative fuel vehicles. There's a lot of insistence that gasoline will only have minor competition from alt fuels in the long run but even a cursory look at auto maker's plans and the regulatory environment says otherwise.

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.
