Pros
Good 401K match. Discounts within the org for outside events. Mostly friendly and smart coworkers. Work life balance.
Cons
Chevron is how you would imagine any other oil and gas company, greedy and only for-profit. If you are just starting your career, I wouldn't recommend this company. Not many young folks (20 - 30 y/o) and a lot of coworkers over the age of 40. Employees have been performing based on quarterly/yearly reviews, but the company has missed target revenue marks. In response, they have turned to outsourcing in other countries and eliminating (laying off) almost half of the U.S. workforce despite being a U.S. company. I know someone who was at the company for almost 15 years and he was instantly cut because he moved during the pandemic with remote work being normalized and could not meet the office policy of hybrid 2 times in office. Even if your team isn't in the same location, they will force you to come in because Chevron is trying to find foolish reasons to cut employees for the ENGINE program they initiated (to cut half the employees and create a billion dollar hub in India to pay less for more). There are WAYYY too many contract workers at this company and it is honestly difficult to understand them as english is not their first language and they aren't willing to train or help you since you are their competition. It's a really weird and bit of a toxic environment. These contract workers are often on the other side of the world which makes it even harder to communicate with them and further makes it easier for them to ignore you and make excuses not to connect with you. There is no official onboarding or training program, you need to direct yourself and connect to the right people. On top of this all, there are many people in leadership who shouldn't be in those positions. Unqualified leaders leads to poor planning and toxicity when things go down hill.
