Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent pay and benefits, strong compliance culture, excellent opportunities for people with a lot of energy, intelligence and persistence, retirement plan and savings matching still alive and well! You can have several careers under one roof and build up toward retirement, which is a realistic possibility at XOM.

Cons

Review process can be tough with a strict ranking system - it's all about performance.

Challenging and rewarding job assignments; forced competitive ranking system is demoralizing

Geoscience associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary, benefits, and job security, opportunities within different functions of the business (3-5 year job rotations), top-of-the industry training program, highly collaborative work environment, workplace flexibility becoming more the norm

Cons

The forced ranking system is in complete opposition to creating dynamic team-centric problem solving--your ranking (and salary) become benchmarked on your performance in the first two years; the company is slow to accept the changing work demographic; abysmal family leave benefits

Business Outlook

Pros

* Salary * Size helps when working w/ vendors and third parties - a lot of weight to swing around. * Houston Campus is really nice * 401k matching

Cons

* Leadership framework incentivizes selfish and poor behavior from those seeking to climb the corporate ladder * Organization does not actively shed dead weight as frequently as it should. There are too many people sitting around collective paychecks. * Lack of vision/strategy across several of the major business lines. * Lack of solid, well-communicated vision/strategy for the corporation as a whole * Annual performance evaluation process incentivizes bad behavior, demoralizes large percentages of the employee population, and is overly time-consuming to administer.
