Pros

Pay and benefits are decent.

Cons

Chevron’s culture is in a freefall. They’ve swapped "The Chevron Way" for a shareholder-obsessed model that prioritizes offshoring over its American legacy. From the needless 4-day in-office requirement to the blatant systematic replacement of American roles with offshore talent. It’s disheartening to see a once-proud domestic giant suggest that unless you’re based in India, you no longer have a future here.
