In the last few years they have dropped their recruiting significantly but ExxonMobil recruited Ph.D’s from the best universities for decades. Lots and lots of VERY smart people work there.

- xwdv 4y agoNASA folk are more naive ivory tower types where as ExxonMobil are more practical, pessimistic types.

- chasd00 4y agomy BIL started in geology but ended up with a Ph.D in biology. I tried to get him to goto work for ExxonMobile (or somewhere in oil/gas) but he said he wasn't interested in selling his soul. Now, after half a decade, he's still looking for a steady job and makes holsters and knife accessories and sells them online to make ends meet. On one hand, I admire his stubbornness but on the other hand, i wish he wasn't so stubborn.
