"Woke" culture destroying morale

Pros

Work life balance is respected and encouraged. Work is interesting and collaboration is generally open.

Cons

Like many corporations, Chevron is bending the knee to the "Social Justice" movement. This means that the workforce is being atomized and pitted against itself. Reference Chevron's press releases from earlier this year crowing about how personnel reductions at upper levels had disproportionately affected white men. This trend can be linked to some large investors very loudly proclaiming a focus on so-called "ES&G" metrics. This also brings about an irrational focus on "going green". Up until a year or so ago, I was proud to see Chevron was resisting the industry trend of mouthing the "Carbon is bad" mantra. This has flipped and quickly in the last year. Terrible for morale

Pros

- Chevron encourages its employees to build a network within the company and improve their leadership skills. It also has a lot of company events and meetings. Thus, you'll be able to develop soft skills essential for an IT professional such as communication, collaboration and leadership. - You are guaranteed to work with people from different countries around the world. - Travel opportunities, but it will depend on the team/project you'll be assigned to. - A respectful work culture that promotes diversity and inclusion. - There is room for career growth in the sense that you can choose to move around different roles within the company. - Chevron prioritizes work-life balance for its employees. - Mandatory WFH for 1 day every week. - Lots of freebies and food in company events. Free delicious coffee in the office.

Cons

- If you're a software developer/engineer and want to focus on building your technical skills, then this is not the company for you. In my case, there were a lot of "routine" IT work, endless meetings and business discussions that just didn't have anything to do with developing and maintaining software. - Too much company bureaucracy and red tape. For example, if you needed access to a database, you have to get approvals and wait for days. This just kills productivity. - Night meetings are expected if you are assigned to a team with US counterparts, which is likely. - Slow promotion. - Oil industry is volatile, so there can be unexpected changes in the workplace.

Pros

I was always challenged and had access to the best software

Cons

The corporate atmospher can stifle morale and the ranking system is forced. Management says otherwise, but in practice it is.
