Hi everyone,

I'm considering applying for a position at Chevron and would love to hear from those who have worked or are currently working there. What has been your experience? How is the company culture, work-life balance, and opportunities for growth? Any insights on what to expect would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Was a consultant there 3 years so I saw almost every department and multiple business units. It's the kind of place that is nearly impossible to get fired from, no decisions get made, and it's highly unlikely you'll ever be held accountable. 9/80 schedule, good pay, the definition of cushy job and life. Go for it but go in not caring too much or you'll be disappointed

Thanks for your insight!

Not recommended right now unless this is your only opportunity, large scale layoffs underway and they are shifting away from America workers to places like India and Manilla.

Jobs are getting heavily offshored- roles from management down to lower levels. In addition, there are major layoffs going on. Search Chevron layoffs so you know what you’re getting yourself into. Layoffs will happen for the next 3 years.

All the comments about layoffs etc are correct. Chevron was everything the first commenter said three years ago possibly but not anymore. The atmosphere changed radically and rapidly when the company stock started performing poorly as benchmarked against its peers, the other oil majors. Jobs are being offshored and job security has declined significantly. Morale is poor.

I’ve been interviewing with Google since July. Passed the first interview but the team I was matched with ended up hiring someone else. Recruiter told me that she will let me know if any other opportunities arise as I’m still in the running and haven’t been rejected. I know that interviewing with google is a long process but I’m worried the longer I wait the more likely I will be rejected or just never hear back. Anyone else in this situation? How long until you got an offer?

I’m relocating to the US from an international rotation to work in Galveston. I have never been to Texas and I am trying to find the best spot for my family to live in. So far from reading online it sounds like Pearland is a good option but I have not been able to validate that/ figure out what other options are out there. I would appreciate all advice:
1. Would you recommend living in Pearland?
2. What are other good areas to live in? Safe and would like to be less than 1 hour from Galveston.
