Pluspunten

Compensation is generally competitive with a salary + bonus structure that applies to even lower pay grades. At higher pay grades, the bonus structure ramps up and can become significant. Option to work alternative work schedules such 80 hours over 9 days is a big bonus. People are generally of a very high competence level.

Minpunten

Review process for salary and bonus determination has become a bit of a joke in recent years - expect something pretty arbitrary. Opportunities for advancement in non-HQ locations are extremely limited. Downstream is the red-headed stepchild in relation to its big brother Upstream. When Chevron talks about using technology as a competitive advantage they mean in Upstream - Downstreamers can expect to claw mightily for resources with little likelihood of success.

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.
