Pros

Support personal growth on paper.

Cons

If you stay too long you will not get the project opportunities to keep growing your skill set, nor the pay compensation. You must become a manager in order to stay, as the technical career path still requires extensive mentoring and less actual project work. Also, they are biased toward Engineers (civil, mechanical, facility, petroleum, etc.) not technical engineers (Data Science, MLE, Software, etc.). You must have the Oil & Gas domain background.

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.
