Pros

Good Benefits, Perks, and Bonuses

Cons

Management! Typical, Southern, "Good-Ole-Boy" Network! Admins, Executive Assistants, etc. are treated like sub-humans! Career growth for non-technical staff is nonexistent! ETC is THE most corrupt, unethical organization I have EVER encountered! If you do choose to go here, DO NOT (no matter what you are promised), work for ETC! Even technical and engineering professionals avoid this area of the business. Administrative professionals, go to Chevron for the perks; leave for a career outside of an admin function. Engineers, technical professionals, and EVERYONE else, AVOID ETC, Chevron's energy technology company!

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
