Chevron has great pay and benefits and a decent work environment. Nice campus, decent amenities, some good people, excellent safety culture.
Svantaggi
Recent deep slashes were taken in the company in the form of lay-offs and tightening of the proverbial belt in any way possible. There is a definite disconnect between lower-level employees and upper-level management. It seems every year that there is a new approach to how business will be managed and keeping up can be a nightmare. Huge gap to be jumped between lower pay scale grades and higher pay scale grades with no intermediate positions to bridge the gap. This company is entrenched in an old-timers mentality, where if you're part of the in-crowd, you'll sail through positions and advancements with ease and anyone else's hard work to get noticed and advanced goes unrewarded. They are currently doing an excellent job at chasing off their younger talent pool who is seeing the writing on the wall of this fossil fuel company and their fossilized ways of managing business.
