ExxonMobil reviews

The internal processes and controls can sometimes become overwhelming/frustrating (however, there are usually good reasons for most of them!). Because the organization is so very large, it can be difficult to identify who the right individuals are to address an issue or problem. And there is no internal "job postings" board; moves are worked between the employee and their supervisor.

A lot of work gets done at Exxon based on who you know. In my evaluations, I competed against people who worked 20-25 years at Exxon. I didn't know a soul who had a position of responsibility under the age of 45. Don't expect a promotion for 5+ years. (I am not talking about the lateral moves or a move to 'team lead'. Expect a lot of them.)
