Pros

brand name, salary, infrastructure, ambience, IT facility

Cons

• The organization culture is poor as every 6 months your supervisor changes and when new supervisor comes, he/ she hardly know anything about your past performances. • Mostly people play mind games, less of tangible work and knowledge growth. More of lectures and mundane speakers. Leaders keep boosting about we are best, and we want best, spread empathy, collaboration etc.., these are nice to hear words but zero action. • New performance system is such a stupid idea where every individual should have all type of working expertise whether- quality, project execution, estimation, construction, procurement etc. There is hardly any focus on functional expertise, jack of all trades- again a misleading career path- hopeless system, this idea contradicts to the definition of “Organization” or “Organized workforce.” • Supervisors does not even know how to handle work and manage resources. • Individuals must search for work and literally fight for budgets with different affiliates across world. • The other affiliates in fear of losing their own job/ work- humiliate other individuals / Indian affiliates. • Lack of trust among employees as there is sense of fear of losing job. • Biggest joke here is-even accountants or finance background person are designated as engineer. How in the world these two fields way apart are justified as same? • The organization has problem of pride and prejudice attitude, which only mislead others. There is behavior propaganda every now and then, believe in me if you are true and honest with your work be ready to pack your bag, people will try to push you out. Best way is to keep crying every now and then like small kid, keep buttering to supervisor. • There are number of strategies and all end up early in implementation, with sheer lack of vision and sustainability. • There are project managers who hardly had any understanding on project management skill, leads India project office. The person was an administration supervisor, was given such an important strategic position for misleading the entire experienced workforce. Immaturity both in years of experience and knowledge was very much evident from action. People kept listening with a sense, “what to do looks …..!! we all are stuck now…!!.”. • There are people so called Mr. Messengers who are blessed with -do anything and no work. • People with lack of simple English articulation are blessed by saying “it’s just a language”. My question is- who will understand the contract unless an individual knows proper international language. • New experienced are hired with pre-plan understanding that individual will be forced to leave after 1-2 years of time just to showcase that there is an attrition rate. Such is the thought process of one of the biggest organizations, hopeless mindset. • There is helm of collusion among few of the employees, and the new employee is judged every now and then. • The organization in India runs in a fashion which seems to be a college or some school type of environment, with less of professional maturity. • My suggestion is if any individual is having his/ her job in multinational company just do not leave that since you got an offer from brand name EM as thought, this organization only believe people will join if we throw them offer and think everyone is replaceable. Join Exxon Mobil only as last option and be prepared to search a new one ASAP, since your real performance does not matter here. People will blabber performance based, but it is all perception and politics (personal touch) basis, rest all is gimmick. Be careful with Singapore counterpart, EM Singapore are the most frustrated team on earth, with lack of proper project processes and management skill sets, people are just warming their seats and fooling around. • One more nonsense thing is the employee must depend on supervisor for understanding or support whether functional, admin, travel, HR, performance, etc.…and if an individual is not satisfied with answers from supervisor you cannot approach anyone. For example: If there is HR related matter and supervisor does not know, if you approach HR, HR will say contact supervisor. Such a frustrating workflow. So, if there is any problem with supervisor you cannot contact anyone, it is a total dead end. • Lastly in the name of confidentiality this organization will do all amoral and unethical -behavior and action with an individual just to prove their point.

Pros

Sadly all the former pros are gone. There was a time I loved my job. Those days are past.

Cons

Management has no care or connection to the workforce and is moving jobs from “high cost” countries to India as fast as they can. No chance of a long term career. All benefits continue to be cut as time goes on. No raises. No 401k match. No cost of living adjustments. No education or training program. No opportunities. Entire workforce is looking for employment elsewhere. Very low morale. Fired so many people that you have to do the work of two people and work 12 hour days. Workforce does not trust management. No transparency from management on plans for continued workforce reduction. Very arbitrary good old boys ranking process for identifying who to fire during annual layoffs. Company is shrinking and in decline. Opportunities from promotion limited as company is laying off not growing.
