ExxonMobil reviews

- Unfair and ruthless forced ranking process; on paper should be performance driven but like all human controlled activities get subject to office politics of senior executives to settle scores or 'perceived threats' - Military-like workplace environment where that espouses only the top down approach Absence of 360 degree feedback - A very evident double standard in faster career development of HQ country (US) employees compared to employees from other parts if the world especially Asia and Africa (much slower) - Reduced emphasis on training / technical development of employees - Limited opportunity of career development

1. Bureaucracy in getting things done. This is a conservative company with a higher level of risk tolerance than others, and as a result the culture and mindset of employees tends to be like this too. You may find yourself having to seek an unending number of internal stakeholder checks and approvals for a seemingly straightforward matter. 2. Matrix reporting structures do bring about their fair share of hard work in navigating, especially in such a large organization.
