Pros

The people. Great people work for Chevron, at least for now.

Cons

The leadership is pretty terrible, they have failed repeatedly, but have the audacity to tell the employees that we need to “do better”. The strong supportive culture that Chevron was once known for is dying on the vine, to be replaced with a new cutthroat approach. Shady changes to benefits for CA employees are done under the guise of “it’s always been this way” gaslighting nonsense. Offshoring and outsourcing is the new strategy to lower costs and line the pockets of the shareholders and the ELT. Don’t come here expecting a long career. Most employees don’t recognize this place anymore. It’s disappointing. Went from being an upstanding company that did hard things but tried to do the right thing, to a shady company managing its employees in an underhanded way so leaders can make more.

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.
