Pros

-Up to 8% matching for 401K -Good Healthcare Benefits & Programs -Lots of training classes for employees <5yrs experience -Friendly, professional employees

Cons

-Nepotism -Very large company means not enough work gets done and it's more costly to do it -Preselect for upper management early on and do not focus on development of other employees as much. -Emphasize work life balance, but realistically expect you to be glued to your phone/email. -They tell you where to work (even if it's in a remote location that you don't want to live in) because it's "best for your career" and then they never move you because it's too expensive to relocate you.

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.
