ExxonMobil reviews

Lacks Diversity Big Time (not just color, personality and just flat out differences) Very cold environment and not people friendly. Has few support networks for minorities and younger people; most of which are poorly organized and lacks leadership. Needs some re-vamp to the ranking system (I think everyone agrees to this one) Training - well there is none in my opinion; ur just winging it! Young engineers are expected to be politicians and you know what funny money is early on; I like to be the innovator so you can play monopoly in the corner by yourself. Realized that most people die two years after retiring (if you work at a plant like I do)...uhh not a happy thought!

The oil and gas industry is still very much an "old boys' club," and ExxonMobil is no exception. Since the company has been around for over 100 years there is a tendency to do things the way they've always been done even if it's out-dated or inefficient. This stifles employees' creativity and makes them robots. Management likes to use a lot of buzzwords and talk about "work-life balance," but it's apparent that asking for a flexible schedule or taking too much maternity leave are still frowned upon (and, as a result, have a negative impact on merit raises and promotion).
