Breadth of opportunities - geographic, technical, cultural Importance of core business to world economic progress Generally favorable benefits package, excellent 401K and defined benefit pension provisions Respectful and safety-conscious workplace

Cons

If you don't want to live in Houston and are a US employee then be warned Decision making is too often overburdened with process steps followed for their own sake rather than for the benefit they bring to the quality of decisions

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.
