ExxonMobil reviews

Forced ranking process, completely depends on "who you know." Black-box job assignment process - attempting to apply directly for a position is a no-no. Management gives lipservice to work/life balance, but only promotes extended seat-warmers. Therefore, high hours = high performance (a strict performance comparison is apparently just too difficult). "Nanny" safety policies - must hold handrails on stairs, etc.

ExxonMobil in Prague is a business service center, and this is important to realize. The service center is placed in Prague because of the cheap labor force that can be used to perform operational tasks. This means that no decisions are made in Prague and 98 percent of the positions are entry level positions, all managers are brought in from abroad (1300 people,most of them with college degree work there and no one are promoted to Managers and fairly no one are transferred to decision making business units). So in respect to career options ExxonMobil Prague it is a big DEAD END !! That it is a service center for operations only also affect work satisfaction. Everything is rule driven with detailed work instructions and employees are expected to work like “semi programed robots”. The quality of supervisors are poor, most of them are college graduates without any human resources or leadership skills or experience. So for experienced or ambitious employees ExxonMobil Prague sucks. Never the less as an entry job to get experiences for fresh graduates or young non Czechs who want to work abroad for a while it can be ok
