ExxonMobil Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I've worked for ExxonMobil for less than a year, but in my current assignment I feel my skills stagnating instead of growing. The company takes a very long-term view of employee growth and each assignment is compared against your career plan up until retirement. I suppose it's comforting to some to see their whole life laid out, but to me it's a bit claustrophobic and limiting to see the next 30+ years of my life planned out with example careers from others who gave their whole lives to this company. Staying with a single company through an entire work career used to be the norm but it isn't anymore, and you can see easily how ExxonMobil is stuck in the past with this career plan, among other things. Not the place to work if you want innovative, meaningful projects."

"You will learn a lot and get exposed to working with great scientists. As expected, it's a very formal environment, but you learn a lot in a 3 month internship. I gave 5 presentations during my internship!"

"Great company to work in if you work with IT. They currently value innovation in an outstanding level."

"I've worked for ExxonMobil for the last 4 years. There are great people there and the company really gives you the opportunity to move up and develop your strengths or your weaknesses as you see fit."

"The pay is great in this company. However, technicians are not treated well. Even though most of the technicians are very well educated and experienced (Exxon hires people with MS and even PhDs for their technician positions). They are not given any ability to improve or move up in the company. They are constantly put down by their superiors. Technicians are respected in this company."
