Pros

Perks - accommodation in great hotels and international trips in business class for business travel. Job security - If you are complacent and just want money in your account at the end of the month, this is the best company to work at

Cons

No short term growth in terms of either career or salary 1. Management is very clear - ExxonMobil is not a paymaster 2. Your "potential" is assessed about a year or so after you join. Subsequent moves within the company are based on this assessment. If your potential is assessed at, say, country manager level, your career path is planned such that you keep moving between lower level roles such that you end up at said level a few years before retirement.

Pros

Nice ant intelligent people to work with on an analyst level, good opportunities to work on interesting projects.

Cons

Should pay much more & it's definitely a boys club. Very frustrating that 40% of management is not qualified to do it's job and they are sometimes difficult to work with. Overtime is paid but it's a huge problem for experienced personnel - a lot of the people are leaving after 1-2 years and everybody else has to work twice as much to cover for the leavers periodically.

BTC management

Pros

The IT system laughably is the only thing good about something as core as upstream operations to a company as old and presumably as seasoned as this.

Cons

1. Lack of transparency in processes. 2. Senior professionals with 10+ years of experience feel stifled. 3. The management of BTC appears keen to meddle in smalltime issues losing out on the big picture. 4. A complete phase shift from the common global policies. 5. A control freak organisation obsessed with reviewing every action from a controls & compliance standpoint. 6. Basic things like laptops & mobile phones are restricted for a force that is supposed to deliver globally. A lot of smaller businesses are far superior in agility & employee friendliness. 7. Most of the BTC management comprises of employees with 15+ years of work history with the company with limited exposure to the efficiency that exists outside of ExxonMobil.
