Vantaggi

'Healthy' company with job security and opportunity for advancement. Due to a large number of employees who will retire within the next 10 years, there's chance for advancement if you take it. In several locations 9/80 is an option--work 80 hours over 9 days (2 weeks). A typical such schedule would be Week 1: M-Th 9 Hours; F 8 Hours. Week 2: M-Th 9 Hours; F off. Though you may be required to work on some off Fridays, it's still a nice benefit as it gives you the chance to take care of activities which must be done during the week (doctors who are not open on weekends etc).

Svantaggi

It is corporate and can move slowly. It can be boring with so many stakeholders needing to buy-in before action can be taken. In such a large company, experiences will vary greatly between different groups and divisions. Similarly, various parts seem to continuously be under consolidation efforts so those parts of the company may be a little less secure. That said, often Chevron will try to retain any talent in such positions if needed or offer nice incentives to leave. San Ramon is nice, but if you have a 'younger' lifestyle is still a big office park with convenient groceries but not much else.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
