ExxonMobil reviews

- Too many night meetings especially if your team is mostly in the US, prioritization is the US timezone - Has a lot of work politics, if a manager likes you, you will probably stay there long enough to be one of their own. There’s a lot of biased so far from what I’ve seen. - Performance evaluation seems fair in a hindsight but it’s actually not. Just as I said, it’s like a school/university system. You will be ranked 1 to 100 (example) and will be fighting for your spot every year to not be fired. Even if all of your team is good at work, you still have to be rank from highest to lowest. No one will have the same result even though both are good. This evaluation will include your work performance, events/activities and to add on how much your manager & other manager likes you. - If you get low rank (NSI) you will get Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) which is just a way to lay you off without paying you the bonuses and allowance in a duration of 3 months. They will only let you stay if they like you, otherwise just take their laid off option and get your compensation money - If your manager holds the title SDM instead of Supervisor, most of the time they don't know how to help you in your day to day task. If you need to ask anything they will just direct you to another person because they don't know, which says a lot. How can you manage people of you don't know what they are doing. - You will get a role rotation every 3- 5 years. Jack of all trades but master of none - High turnover rates

Higher level leadership is clearly attempting to reduce headcount in the engineering resources area to save money but advertising it as “eliminating unnecessary tasks” by allowing engineers to focus on bigger picture items and sending those smaller responsibilities to overseas tech centers but that isn’t really happening as engineers are still spending alot of time on stewardship activities and repeat communication to multiple “supervisor” type roles throughout the business units the engineers support. Morale is low as people are quitting or "escaping" to other parts of the company (outside of manufacturing) everyday. Others in similar roles to me are unable to work from home ever and have minimal flexibility so it just depends.
