Not for everyone (aka only for risk adverse engineers) - Marketing Advisor ExxonMobil Employee Review

Pros

Virtually unlimited ammo ($$$) to execute. Resilient group of people during crisis. Basically impossible to be fired. Yearly salary increase. Fat pension (if you resist)

Cons

To experienced hires: don’t apply. The rating system is built so that only who starts after college can advance in their career. The atmosphere is mostly passive aggressive with a sprinkle of backstabbing. The company’s vision is “fast follower”: basically if you have ideas, go elsewhere. Everything is a “project” and the bureaucracy is unbelievable: it doesn’t matter if you did something new, you must follow “the process”. It’s a dinosaur stuck in a 70s/80s way of doing things.

Pros

Good pay and a pension

Cons

Everything else. Benefits are lackluster, Flex Your Day policies are elusive. The company changes everything all the time so that a large portion of your time is spent finding new links to things on the portal, figuring out who to contact in various departments and in what country just to get a simple answer to a question. No one stays in the same role long enough to get good at their job. Morale is terrible.
