Pros

Company sponsored pension, 401k with company contribution, 9/80 schedule, bonus, comprehensive health plan, expensive cafeteria, have to pay to use the gym on campus.

Cons

Very corporate - can't ever wear jeans...not even on Fridays. Ranking system at review time sucks - everyone can have a great year performance-wise but some will be ranked low due to forced rankings.

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.
