Working at Chevron in San Ramon, CA: 29 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in San Ramon, CA Area

"Formerly great company that is struggling to deal with its carbon footprint and the lower-for-longer oil prices. Best-in-class within the energy sector for a friendly culture overall, but it is still luck of the draw with what supervisor you get. Pay is still above-average. However, if you're not in the energy sector already, you're probably better off in a different industry. Layoffs are frequent with every oil price decline, and the remaining employees can feel overwhelmed with work. Work-life balance and employment security is more reliable elsewhere."

"Chevron ITC as a company was one of the amazing places to work at an entry-level or the mid-level, however, the upper administration is worthless and uncompetitive. The top-level management is involved in corporate politics, the company believed in paying the dividends to the stakeholders rather than working on keeping the workforce employed. None of the corporates have taken a pay cut. All the employees above 55 are being forced to take severance package & contractors who do the actual work are getting laid off. The company has no future while migrating to Azure and eventually the identities of employees will be managed solely by Microsoft."

"A most amazing organization with good leadership principles and helped me to learn good values out of business"
