Pros

While employed with Chevron it was what looked to be my "last stop". But to my surprise proof! Just like that we were sold! To a low ball company with no experience in any offshore oilfield related business ownership. The most unprofessional experience I have ever had, watching all of upper management leave us (brown nosers in tow) stranded, wondering what in the world is going on? What did we all do? Am I not experienced enough? Did I not work hard enough? What can we do to keep our carrers?

Cons

Very clickish, if your not doing favors for management you will have a miserable employment.

Pros

Paychecks still hit when expected.

Cons

The recent restructuring has fundamentally weakened how the organization operates. Critical workflows that once relied on cross‑functional alignment are now slowed by fragmentation, unclear ownership, and constant handoffs. The company is asking for the same performance with significantly fewer resources and far less structural support. Employee trust has taken a noticeable hit. Messaging from leadership remains upbeat, but it rarely reflects the day‑to‑day reality employees are navigating. The gap between what is said and what is experienced has grown wide enough that many people no longer feel their concerns are being acknowledged, let alone addressed. Workload pressure has intensified across the board. Teams are stretched thin, managers are overwhelmed, and the pace of change has outstripped the systems needed to support it. The result is an environment where people are doing their best despite the structure, not because of it. Chevron has historically been known for stability, collaboration, and thoughtful decision‑making. Those strengths are much harder to see in the current setup. There is still a path back to a healthier culture, but it will require leadership to confront the consequences of the reorganization directly and rebuild transparency, alignment, and trust.
