- Large Enterprise to practice IT on - Diverse employees - Pockets of talent

Cons

- Value of IT is overall seen as low-mid importance at best - Low value of IT leads to innovative employees and high performers having to focus their energy outside of the workplace. - Strong work ethic is encouraged but not valued - Significant turnover in technology staff taking place leading to tough growing pains for pre-existing employees and new incoming employees alike - Management not qualified to run technical teams leading to lack of focus and value of the real priorities - Lack of inclusion for African and African-American employees

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.
