Pros

Good benefits, 401k is nice. Company still has pension. Majority of work is actually subcontracted out so you don't really have that much you are responsible for.

Cons

Good ole boy system is rampant. There is a protected class within the company. You should have the same interests and hobbies as your supervisor. Working late, on weekends, executing projects on schedule and budget are not nearly as important as fishing/hunting trips, golf outings.

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.
