Pros

Great place to join if you are just starting out of college. Great training opportunities. You can gain a lot of skills in a very short while if you work at it.

Cons

Not recommended if you are joining after being in the workforce for some time. Most likely you will be brought in at a level lower than what you had previously and this really cannot be rectified without resigning and re-applying at the correct level.

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.
