Pros

The pros diminished as soon as ExxonMobil took over XTO Energy. Only pros are certain co-workers who helps make the day go by fast.

Cons

There’s no advancement opportunities and you will be blocked from moving up or transferring to another department. They micromanaged the heck out of you. You are pigeoned hole to one position and they determine your destiny on where they move you. They will also blacklist you if you quit or not their favorites. They will destroy your future employments as well with other companies. ExxonMobil destroyed the family culture by taking away Thursday’s traditional free lunch, employee annual six flags events and Christmas party. They will replace you with newer young grads if you are older and complain about anything. HR is never your friend and doesn’t have your best interest. You can tell a lot on how they are taking 1,600 jobs from Fort Worth and leaving those that don’t go or asked to go with no severance package. This speaks volume about them and how they don’t value employees. You are just a number waiting to be replaced any second.

Pros

With the 7% 401K match, almost every employee starts with $90,000 total compensation. Generally only working 35-40 hours a week with only about 25-30 hours of actual work discounting lunch, breaks, and slow time. You're able to work from home around 2 days a week, so you get 2 3-day weekends a month. Colleagues are all intelligent and accomplished. Great retirement benefits. Great healthcare package for medical, dental, and vision. (valued at nearly $7,000 annually). Paternity leave is for both mothers and fathers. The Houston HQ looks incredible with great restaurant choice.

Cons

Ranking system can not accurately reflect your contributions.

Pros

Promising fuels/lubes growth potential in Asia Pacific. Company serves a very important global need and you’ll have some roles where this is very evident. Strong healthcare packages (low deductibles for medical, preventative dental, generous vision policy). Top notch retirement benefits; 7% 401K contribution and then just pension plan can give you close to 60% of final salary into perpetuity. Above market starting salary. Flexible workplace policies (1-2 days of work at home a month Miscellaneous: Pregnancy time off for spouse and mother, Educational reimbursement, matching contribution to education and non profit. Organization structure/hierarchy and stability. The new Spring headquarters is a beautiful and functional campus. Merit based rankings generally reward those who contribute to company success. Occasional travel (think 1-4 weeks) however limited expat assignments.

Cons

Declining asset base with plenty of headwinds to margins into the future. Growth is slow and ultimately tied to energy industry fundamentals. O&G focus with a few puppet projects on biofuels and carbon capture. Ranking system not agile (lagged and dampened response) Success very dependent on toeing the line and not rocking the boat. Limited regard for employee interests in career moves. Stuck w/ heritage SAP program suite and creating patches versus modernizing. The GVS deliverables - meaningless corporate jargon and rah rah speeches about a bright future. Compensation heavily back weighted towards retirement, and salary increases slow dramatically after you’re 40 years old. Poor data availability which results in a lack of understanding about profitability. Lack of support for refining sites and associated personnel - seen as a depreciating asset where cost execution below peers is key. Occasional lapse in Manager values when compensation could be impacted. Employees are not proud of what their workplace stands for outside of the company walls.
