Pros

Relatively good pay, that's all about it

Cons

Working as a Contractor (or as they called it HAT Contractor) for ExxonMobil (Esso Australia) is like working in the US during the slavery period. You are an outsider, they don't say hello to you, they don't share any data with you. You are a paid labourer and just a number. No plan or vision, they just make things up as they go. They hire you and don't listen. Technically poor people only waste money.

Pros

Good name - people in Oil and Gas respect an EM background If you have a good manager, you may have an enjoyable experience

Cons

Very "parental" - management spoke to what external organizations I was "allowed" to be a part of and what roles I was allowed to take in them - and I didn't know any better at the time (and neither did anyone else) because we all started as college grads and didn't know what how a proper management-employee relationship looks. Pay is less - start with a higher pay and it quickly becomes less than the industry average Atmosphere of fear - overwhelming rhetoric from senior management saying we will likely take on too much risk or fail trying if we go elsewhere; mgmt's way of keeping high performers from leaving to companies that would pay 2x as much. So many of my top-grad friends developed low self-esteem over a short stint with EM; hate their work and lack the self-confidence to try elsewhere. Vague Promises of a Future - You might get the job you want in 5-10 years, but you have to be a "good worker" in this role for several years first and hope that management needs you there later. Stupid, when you could leave and get the exact job you want now - unless you don't value the few years you have.

Pros

-Overtime -Time and half per hour for OT

Cons

-Very political, a lot of back slapping for the Yougsters, along with the mentality - Management is clueless - Bechtel is treated 100 times better than Bechtel contractors along with supervision for engineers being computer degrees personal from the Middleeast. - English is the second language on the project, I am of Hispanic desent, but the amount of other Hispanics that can’t speak English is shameful and with most of them feeling entitled. This causes major safety concerns and has contributed to a lot of problems - to many under the table deals being made, everything has a price, all incentives, Red Wong Boot , rides to the parking lot, food delivery it all for sale for one price or the other. - Position ranking is a joke, supervisors do only what they want to do, lay-off and Fire any person that they want - women are objects on this project, in all the years of being in Oil and Gas the lack of equal treatment on this job is terrible. If you are a young women and accommodating then you stay if you are a college women here to work forget it. I would not want my daughter or wife here. - Old timers in the field they want us gone... expence means zip
