Business Outlook

Pros

EM has a global scale which means your work can have a huge impact

Cons

There is a culture of fear that prevents anyone from making decisions. Anyone who isn't an engineer (and preferably an enginner from UT or TAMU) is looked down upon. All the leadership grew up within ExxonMobil and they truly believe they are innovative and call themselves a "technology company." But these leaders have never worked at a real tech company that is agile and distruptive.

Pros

- Encourage you to be lazy. - Increase your skills in powerpoint presentation. - Increase your skills in deceiving people. - Security and controls were designed to take no action - i.e. lazy. "Oh I can't do that because it doesn't meet this S&C".

Cons

- Management know 0 things about IT. - You need to keep educating your own management, which gets old quickly. - You wait indefinitely for your management to make decisions. - Your management believe and get conned by external consultants but questions everything in what their own people say. - Canned, religious agile practices which a KKK group will witch hunt you for not "believing". - You will fight to hell to do your technical work on your laptop. - No IT career path. - No true IT leaders. - You live in constant fear.

Pros

Pay is competitive, initial benefits.

Cons

ExxonMobil built up a wonderful benefits package to attract talent and has slowly started to pull the benefits out from under employees. While I’ve personally ranked high, I’ve watched highly talented, high performing introverts sink and even be asked to leave because of their inability to “fit in”. This is not the place for introverts. Management sold the new ranking system as a positive, then used it to turn around and reduce headcount. Exxon relies heavily on brand recognition and the company is now losing top quintile people because that’s simply not enough to retain talented individuals. The people make the company and Exxon’s undervaluing of employees has continued to show in their being out performed by their competitors on stock value, process safety, personnel safety and employee satisfaction. There are hard times ahead without big changes at every level of leadership.
