ExxonMobil Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I've worked in Exxon Mobile during 2007. It was very good place and efficient place to grow up in the ladder."

"I like working here but the compensation from this company to me is poor."

"ExxonMobil is a wonderful company to work for. Safety is a core value and they rank attention to details as the second. You really have to be on top of your game to be an employee. Most recruitment are done from Campus so if you miss out of the opportunity, it may be tough to get in as a full time staff. However, the only drawback is that, there are too many contract staff working for the company."

"It was a great place to work."

"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!"

"It's a contract. Technology is good. People are nice."

"Great opportunities in geophysics and strategic planning."

What do you like about working at ExxonMobil?

"Great place to work, both New York and Dallas were terrific. Great opportunities."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Great people, great support, great work. I was doing time-series analysis with massive super-computers."

What don't you like about working at ExxonMobil?

"I was about to be transferred to Lagos, Nigeria during their civil war. The pay would have been outstanding, but we were expecting a child and couldn't go."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"As a result of turning down the transfer (a plum assignment) my career would have been placed on hold. I would change this."
