ExxonMobil reviews

+ Too many dinosaurs who refuse to change their thinking....even on a new state of the art campus. If you're not at your desk, then you're not working. If you work from home (if your supervisor even allows it), the "green light" better stay on or else you're not working. + Long-term employees just waiting for their pension + Lack of ethnic diversity at executive, mid level and even first line supervisor ranks is truly shocking for a fortune 100 company. I would implore young african american current and prospective employees to truly think about whether EM is the right fit for them. If you're a white male, ExxonMobil is your oyster. + An archaic & demoralizing rating/ranking system that contributes to a lack of innovation & collaboration and lends itself to implicit/unconscious bias (which leads to my third bullet above)

Upward mobility is hindered currently for the rest. Exxon will give you three years of decent salary treatments to incentivize you to stay. After that, the raises suddenly become nominal -- mostly adjusted for inflation (1-2% every 14 months is typical). The salary bands and promotion scheme is heavily skewed to retain the top 15%. The budget allocates around 75% of salary treatment to these individuals. This means even if you fall within the top 70 - 80th percentile, you won't be getting those "good" raises. It's a lifer company, which sounds good at the onset, but it encourages a mindset similar to complacency since many are not happy with their roles or understood trajectory, yet know they can get away with doing very little without getting fired. This lack of productivity is then absorbed by new hires that are seeking to prove themselves during their first couple of years.
