ExxonMobil company culture and work environment

I'm not sure, but I have a buddy that worked there a few years ago. I'm mainly commenting as friendly advice that you should change your topic title to more than 'XOM' so that people will know you aren't wanting to talk about the stock but working there.

Also, it's a good idea to check them out on glassdoor if you haven't already.

P.S.: It would also be a good idea to mention what kind of jobs you're looking at. Interview tips and questions are going to change based on job, and work culture will probably be a little different based on whether you're working in an office or on a rig. I don't think you'll see many truck nuts in the office's parking lot, for example.

I went through the complete interview process for their finance leadership development program. I opted against Exxon because:
a) the leadership development program is heavily dependent on geographical mobility, and I had no desire to work at a # of the potential sites
b) I've heard the corporate culture for finance overall was by far the worst of the majors

Item b is generally a lot more dependent on the individual pocket of a company that you'll actually work. I wouldn't let my (or any one person's) opinion influence your outlook on how it'd work out for you. In my case, I was going to be bouncing around different groups within finance, so I had to at least consider it.

Dependant upon the site you work at.

Chemical is almost a different company than refining

Exxon leadership has recognized some cultural traits need to be changed to have an impact for positive gains in the future changing market place.

Pays well, benefits are good, people are great, work is work. Its a plant, things break and take people to repair. Big corp red tape but that is most jobs in big oil

The campus in Spring is very nice and very 1984-ish. Big brother will be watching you.
