Pros

The base salary is good.

Cons

No 401k match even after being sold on it in the interview , indefinitely No education reimbursement Lied and said there would be no layoffs while planning layoffs Laid off the senior most people on the team to stick fresh college graduates with immense amounts of work and no one to train them how to do it Their computer systems are from the Stone Age They have no problem lying to their employees or the media Salaries are frozen, indefinitely, so every year you make less than the last with no 401k match and increasing cost of living Took away cost of living bonus from employees they forced to relocate and expats leaving them making less and living in high COL places They changed the performance system so that they can reach you however you want, no matter how much it differs from the previous year, and they increased the amount of people that had to be in the lowest rated category so that they could blame them and fire them instead of laying them off which is what it actually was Just don’t work here. I really, really regret it and I will be out the door the second the next opportunity presents itself. I have no loyalty to the company as they showed me very early they have no loyalty for me Exxon is a sinking ship, titanic if you will They try to sell you on staying with the company based on the pension that doesn’t vest until three years after you start but who cares about that when you’re losing out on 7 7.5% 401(k) match that you were promised in your offer letter? Certainly not millennials and gen Z I will tell you that much!

Pros

Competitive salaries; global projects of significance

Cons

This company is like a centrally planned economy - there are legions of “planners” who try and plan everything, and a command and control structure that is unbelievable. Nothing happens quickly or flexibly, new ideas are not readily accepted, outside information is viewed with suspicion, and internal communications have a whiff of propaganda about them. This has led to the demise of a once great company now struggling to adapt to a face paced, unpredictable world, that has changed beyond the ability of the “planners” to cope with.
