Pros
The only good thing at XOM is reputation and to enlight your resume. Yes, you will learn a lot. People are smart and good at what they do, but they are brainwashed and like robots. Amazing, how they obey the rules and how scared employees are. Young people, please leave them after 3-5 years, otherwise they will destroy your life and career.
Kontras
The worst compensation among operators. Maybe a little bit higher salary but that’s it. No bonuses at all, no stock options, no anything else. An average 401K, vacation, etc, worse than other majors. Even the worst holiday plan (8 paid public holidays). The only operator in Houston that does not have flex schedule and does not have bonus. You will work overtime. They use and abuse employees. They torture you psychologically. They want to scare you to do what you are told to do. They tell you if you dont do what I tell you, you will be the bottom one. No innovation at all. No creativity. An old technology. They are scared that someone will steal technology that they don’t have. It is like a military and even worse. Very sensitive people. I dont understand is why people stay. You can go anywhere else, work less, be more respected and make more money!!!
