Pros

Competitive salary, good benefits and work life balance. Vast majority of colleagues are highly competent and will drive you to work at a high standard.

Cons

It is a large company, and doesn't always feel as if superiors have your best interests at heart. Important to take control of your own career progression.

Pros

During such times e.g. sanctions on Russian oil, it is raking in even more profits than before.

Cons

Non-diverse teams/old-timers/menopausal Karens/Kevins and looking to retire comfortably so want things to remain status quo, and bully/force out those viewed as threats to themselves. Having to put up with (incompetent) offshore finance doesn't help at all.

Pros

No doubt, Chevron can be a great place to work when looking at all employers, but do not be blinded to other opportunities elsewhere. I have had worse jobs, but also had better. They pay fair, give yearly bonuses. Raises are tied to performance, but a lot of times it is not what you do, but who is looking after you. (It can be frustrating when you commit so much but do not receive the carrot, they dangle over you)

Cons

The higher up you get, the more political it becomes. I worked there almost 10 years. It was good, but not all roses, it is not always what you do, but who you know. I was lied to about a new job I took within the company and relocated my whole family across the country. When I got there, I was not given the salary bump of the job I was hired to do (higher PSG) and given a bunch of bad excuses after I got there and didn't get my pay bump. It put a bad taste in my mouth. In 2021 I decided I needed to leave, I was stuck in a rut where I didn't want to be and wasn't able to grow. Fortunately, they were restructuring after COVID and I was offered a severance package to leave. (I was planning on leaving anyway) So I hung on almost 6 months until I got the severance check. In my opinion you will be discriminated against if you are a white male. It is not blatantly obvious, but there is such a push for more diversity that it became more obvious as time went on. I suspect there will be a lawsuit in the near future. (if there is not already) During the company restructuring in 2021 they tracked what races were being let go because they did not want to let to many minorities go. Minorities were kept even if they were low performers. I bought it up in a meeting that race should not be considered, and that it was illegal to make decisions based on race. The response I got was they were only tracking it because they did not want to make decisions based on an unconscious bias. (it felt like a BS answer to me, you should only look at performance and race should not be considered)
