Interesting technical projects. Good infrastructure/resources for conducting research.

Very authoritarian culture. Lot of back-biting spurred by force ranking. Frustration among majority of the researchers due to lot of "busy work" and useless meetings.

Exxon Mobil is the Industry leader. They have the money and the resources to research, develop, and produce top notch solutions to technological challenges. They pay excellent salaries, provide ample training to maintain expertise, and offer opportunities in many different fields. The Safety culture is among the best.

The company is very conservative and can miss out on first mover opportunities. The employee appraisal "Rating and Ranking" system is antiquated and widely disliked.

Pros

Company moves people around every once in a while. A lot of learning opportunities; employees are tested in various functions from the start. Stable company for a long term career

Cons

Organization doesn't create a sense of ownership; people just doing their job and not working together for a common goal. Decision making can be bureaucratic. Employees have limited say on their own career development.
