Minpunten
Controllers is sold as “rotational finance”, but you will be entering data into SAP and doing accounting/bookkeeping/journal entries. Accounting and reporting systems are approximately 40 years old. The “cool” finance jobs (business development, treasury, trading) are given to engineers only, which explains Exxon’s subpar financial performance relative to peers like Chevron and general distaste from Wall Street/institutional investors. Very secretive and conservative company, not very much diversity. The largest group in Controllers appears to be white males from Florida’s MBA program. Low pay compared to peers, finance function is paid ~10-15% lower than Shell, Chevron, BP.
