Pros

Lots of diverse opportunities in Web development, Application Support, Data Science, Data Engineering, Automation, CICD, etc. Typically, you get more control over the work you get to do day to day but less control over the direction your project heads in.

Cons

Although there is a large push to digitize all aspects of our business; this does not reflect in giving IT the power to make decisions. Company as a whole pushes buy mentality over build even if it costs more to support a bought product over time. Also, for pay in IT world it is a bit lower but gets more competitive if you stay with the company for a long time; opposite of what excites the new generation of worker.

Pros

The people at Chevron are great and overall it's a pretty good company - decent benefits and company culture. The 9/80 work schedule is a great perk. It has struggled to stay competitive with other big employers in California though.

Cons

Leadership has become increasingly out of touch, with regular re-organizations, lay-offs, and offshoring of support/operation functions disrupting day-to-day work and making processes even more slow and bureaucratic. Overall most employees are still wonderful to work with, but the constant leadership mantra of "do more with less" and removal of flexible/hybrid work has definitely reduced morale and made Chevron just another job, whereas it used to be a genuinely enjoyable place to work.
