      Pros

      Work/Life balance, 401K, and Company Match

      Cons

      The company has major nepotism, racism, conservative thinking hard coded into its culture. Diversity of thinking and/or experiences are tolerated verses embraced. Poor leadership is the norm as its ran by old white men. The group think is paralyzing and depressing to say the least. The investment portfolio is also not diversifying quickly enough to keep up with alternative world energy needs…they are stuck on fossil fuels! So many brilliant minds and innovative companies in the Northern California area and they refuse to collaborate with (Tesla, Toyota(battery technology), solar, wind biofuels. We should be leading in this space. It is a titanic in regards to the future energy needs for the world.

      Pros

      They are great about taking time off and breaks. Most of the people there are really nice and there isn't a strict dress code.

      Cons

      As a contractor you are treated really different and some of the employees look down on you. You are also the first one to go even if you are better at the job you are doing than an actual employee Losts of the actual employees don't work a full 40 hours and pass things on the the contractors.

      Pros

      Work / life balance is truly honored here. I have a young family so this is something that is big to me. Pay is decent, decent bonus structure, but nothing life-changing. Wide scope, there are so many places you could work at Chevron, so my experience is highly unique, just like everyone else's. If you get in with the right group it could be a sweet deal.

      Cons

      Downtown. This is obviously dependent on where YOU live, but for me the commute is horrible. It steals 2 hours of my life everyday, sometimes more Politics - lots of favoritism disguised as career progression. When work gets slim, all the work goes to the group favorite. Highly Bureaucratic - Processes for the sake of process. If you like taking months and months to make seemingly simple decisions because the process says so...then you'll love it. There's lots of places to go, but many many walls and roadblocks to actually getting there. The safety culture is taken to a nanny-state crippling extreme. I got snapped at for turning my head while riding down an escalator "look forward please". Gimme a break. Dare you to say something like this out loud...best have your resume polished.
