ExxonMobil reviews

Low salary, overloaded people who are capable, but promoted people who know, how to get a protection at the management. It does not matter, how well one does a job, but how well one can sell himself even if not doing anything. In another words, if you are hard working and want to be recognized for it, this company is not for you.

The job itself is dull and boring. You're not required to think nor to be creative. All you have to do is learn the system and then turn into a robot. There's little room for self-improvement and gaining new and interesting knowledge is hard. The Safety - I'm happy that they take safety very seriously, but still, we're not on an oil rig or out in the field. Bureaucracy - everything is old school here. And if you want to be in a position of power you need to pretty much be with the company for 15 years before you're considered for a management position. Salaries - Below average. Poor ranking system which is vaguely based on merit but at the same time it's not. Everyone gets the same increase yearly with some minor changes here and there. Entry level salaries are increased each year not out of generosity but due to inflation. Career Opportunity - you're placed in a team you never chose and you're stuck for at least 2 years before you can get rotated. And rotation doesn't mean promotion, they simply switch you to another team so you "don't get completely" bored. No room for growth and promotion pretty much.
