Pros

9/80 hybrid schedule 3days in office

Cons

combination of outsourcing to lower cost geographies, pending layoffs, and HQ move out of California leaves no career opportunities unless you live in a lower cost geography. positions at all levels and functions are impacted- look at job postings at Chevron and Exxon to see your future. company performance is poor and the company is desperate to cut costs

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.
