Pros
The initial pay is fine. The matching savings plan is coming back for the foreseeable future. It’s a great name on the resume and will take you far. Great way to change companies.
Cons
Toxic culture. Toxic supervisors/managers cover for toxic supervisors/managers. The ghost layoffs are masked under the new ranking process to force employees out of the company. A ranking system that is used to layoff employees, particularly those new, older age or with the company for over 10 years. Compensation does not keep up with inflation or cost of living. Be prepared to deal with HR incompetence when trying to get a straight answer about ranking results. Company is a house of cards that will not change with the times/move swiftly like tech companies for example. It’s an imploding dinosaur. First and second line supervisors are not screened properly. Which is why the company becomes a breeding ground for a toxic micro cultures all across the company, up to the very top. There’s great managers out there but they usually can’t do much to stop the fires or poison seeping to other areas of the company. It’s a sad story. Once mighty Exxon, it has become a sad story of fallen giant. Its internal culture is a mirror image of the public’s toxic perception of the company. People should continue leaving. Other companies pay better and promote employees all throughout their career.
