Pluspunten

I've been with Chevron for 20 years. Never thought I'd stay anywhere that long, but the benefits/pay/9-80 work schedule are hard to beat. Senior management really seems to listen to the concerns and/or wishes of employees and positive changes are made as a result, e.g., a "bonus" program was implemented a few years back. As oil companies go, Chevron really does care about its people and the communities where we do business.

Minpunten

If you're not an engineer or MBA, your career ascent may not go as quickly as you'd like. As with any huge company, nothing ever happens quickly. There is always a lot of churn and review processes are cumbersome, to say the least. Many of the middle managers I've encountered in my career are not well equipped to be supervisors. It's frustrating that so many people have spent their entire careers at Corporate and still have no idea what a platform is, what a refinery does, etc.

Pluspunten

The paycheck still clears (for now, until your role is moved to Bangalore or Manila). ​The 9/80 schedule used to be a perk, but it’s hard to enjoy a Friday off when you spent the previous four days hunting for a desk like a game of musical chairs.

Minpunten

The RTO Charade: Leadership loves to talk about "collaboration," but the 4-day Return to Office (RTO) is clearly a quiet layoff tactic. They want people to quit so they don’t have to pay severance. The "Invisible" Office: It’s impressive how Mike Wirth can demand everyone be in the building while simultaneously removing the basic infrastructure of a workplace. No assigned desks, no storage, and literally no trash cans. Apparently, "Human Energy" includes carrying your own garbage home and spending 30 minutes every morning wandering the floor looking for a monitor that actually works. Leadership Vacuum: Les Copland is the definition of a CIO "yes man." Instead of standing up for the integrity of the tech stack or the US workforce, he’s overseen the systematic gutting of IT. It’s a race to the bottom to find the cheapest labor possible outside of the US, leaving the remaining domestic staff to clean up the inevitable mess. The War on American Workers: There is a blatant, aggressive push to minimize the American footprint. We are being phased out in favor of massive outsourcing hubs. You aren't a valued engineer here; you’re an overhead cost that Mike Wirth is looking to delete.
