Exxon Reviews in Houston, TX Area
-
Pros
-Exceptional pay and benefits
-Great support from senior management in the on-boarding process. I got to sit down and spend an hour each with 12-15 senior managers.
-Houston is cheap! No state income tax
-Opportunities to work abroad as soon as 18 months after you startCons
-Very narrow industry develops a specialized skill set
-Not a lot of workforce diversity
-The Texan mentality is either for you or it isn't...you have to decide that
-Not a lot of change in the company operations. They do what they do, they do it well, they'll keep doing it.
-Won't sponsor full time MBA, and it's very hard to convince them to let you take a leave of absence if you choose to sponsor it yourself.Advice to Senior Management
Innovation!
