Pros
Overall, Chevron is a nice, comfortable place to work. Some pros: 1. Work/ life balance is great. Employees have every other Friday off, in most groups the hours are reasonable and employees are generally not expected to work on weekends. 2. Compensation - employees are well compensated with a very generous 401k match as well as a pension plan. Salaries tend to be similar or slightly higher than the average in the Bay Area. 3. Culture - I have yet to work with someone that I really dislike at Chevron. Employees are nice and care about each other.
Cons
As a large company, there can be quite a bit of bureaucracy. As everyone is so nice, there is a focus on consensus which increases the time for decisions to be made. Managing the politics of engaging all stakeholders and avoiding conflict can be exhausting and lead to inefficiency.
