Pros

Pays well, can gain transferable skills quickly, set your career up and then springboard elsewhere. When commodity price high, company can wield political and financial stroke making for a workplace that can feel influential.

Cons

Volatile commodity = regular layoff cycles = highly disposable/replaceable workforce. Shorter employment horizon can tend to surface undesirable workplace actions and behaviours. Aging industry with best days behind it. Use your time there to build good skills to apply in new economy industries.

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.
