ExxonMobil reviews

You get paid well, but it's hardly worth it for all the hours you are expected to put in. Work-life balance is a joke. Hardly any time for actual engineering because so many auxiliary responsibilities are heaped on you. Backwards minded approach to financial security prevents them being technologically competitive. Layers of red tape to affect even small changes. Often competing priorities and interests obscure a clear vision of the work that needs to be done.

Not really enjoyable to work in such a stuffy environment. Everyone walks on egg shells, so as not to ruin their ranking. People also push pet projects that may not actually be beneficial, but look good for ranking.
