slow and boring but stable giant

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly environment and fair number of work hours characterize the company. Layoffs are extremely rare, the atmosphere is generally quite good. International opportunities, diverse workforce.

Cons

Safety and security are absolutely over-emphasized even in positions where this particular focus only causes problems and obstructs daily work. Salaries are a bit lower than the regional average in this sector. Management and policies are totally inflexible, no room for innovation or bigger changes.

Stable place to work but stifiling Gen X and Yers

Business Outlook

Pros

-Solid pay (just graduated school and I make more than any of my friends) -Solid benefits (pension plan...if you can make it that long) -Opportunity to travel and rack up frequent flyer/hotel points -Work from home in this position

Cons

-Secretive ranking and promotion process -Not innovative at all -Doesn't foster creativity -Moves you around to different jobs and different cities every ~2 years and you have no say in where you go or what you do. Many employees in their 50s have lived in 13 different cities with XOM...not uncommon. XOM doesn't understand that this doesn't fit the mold of younger generations. -Bureaucratic

Pros

Great Experience, flexible schedule, awesome exposure to managing variety of people.

Cons

Very subjective ranking and rating job performance. It is not all numbers/result based, what your boss say about you during the ranking and rating session means more than what your Scorecard shows. If you have a boss who doesnt like you. Kiss your promotion and raise goodbye.
