Every company offers something slightly different in the way of benefits and rewards. Trying to make sense of it can often be a minefield, trying to understand what it all means and how this relates to you. Well, no more! To try and help you navigate though this area, we've listed our benefits in plain English, giving an indication of salary contributions needed for certain benefits.
We hope that this makes for easy reading.
Salary and allowances
We offer a highly competitive salary starting £31000 for Masters - more if you have a PhD. This figure is reviewed annually before you start in August/September (normal start date for graduates). It is possible therefore, that you could receive your first pay increase before you actually start work!
You salary will be reviewed every six months in your first two years, with increases based on your performance to date. You can also expect to receive a location allowance if you are based in London or Leatherhead. This currently stands as £3300 for London based employees and £1500 for Leatherhead. These increases reflect the increased cost of living in these areas and are added to your salary each month.
Bursary
If you're in your final year at University or have recently graduated, trying to make ends meet can be difficult. As soon as you accept a job offer with us in writing, we will present you with a cheque for £1000 to do with as you please.
Relocation allowance
Moving home can be costly, and to help you with this you will receive £2500 gross in your first salary payment to help ease this burden. You don't have to use it for moving home, put it towards a flat, a car or maybe that pair of shoes that have been calling you from the shop window for ages!
In addition to this allowance, you can also claim via our employee expenses system, costs for transport to move all of your belongings to your new location.
Loans
When you first join us you are entitled to received a £1500 interest free loan to be paid back over your first year with us. This is in addition to any travel loans required to cover public transport as a result of working in central London.
Hotel accommodation
For your first month with, us we will pay for B&B hotel accommodation for you for 4 weeks. You will be in the same hotel as your cohort, providing an ideal time to get to know one another and organise accommodation to share.
Share Scheme
The ExxonMobil Share Scheme works on a two for one basis upto 2.5% of your salary. This effectively means for every £30 you put into the scheme, you will get £90 of shares (please note the price of shares can fall as well as rise). Over a few years that quite a bit of money!
Pension
Our pension is a voluntary and contributory plan. Employees make a contribution of between 1.5% and 6.5% of pensionable pay but the actual amount depends on total earnings. All contributions receive tax relief at your highest rate of tax. AVC scheme for additional pension contributions.
Holiday entitlement
You will get 20 days holiday in your first year, and subsequently 25 days. This is in addition to local bank holidays.
Career Break
After you have got an established career you can take upto five years career break to travel the world, raise a family or just relax.
Child Care Vouchers
Parents or guardians may choose to substitute part of their basic salary each month for child care vouchers. These vouchers can be used on a continuous basis, or saved for periods where longer child care is needed - such as school summer holidays. By utilising the voucher scheme, over a one year period, higher rate tax payers could save approximately £1000 in National Insurance and Tax.
Once in a lifetime
This is an added arrangement to the holiday entitlement where you can take unpaid leave for upto one month in addition to your holiday entitlement for once in a lifetime event.
Day of Caring
We take our community responsibilities seriously therefore we give as much back to the community as possible. As part of this, we arrange a number of 'Days of Caring' where instead of going to work, you could be brightening the lives of children in temporary accommodation, rebuilding vandalised areas of the community or repainting a hospital. Take a look at what we did this year.
Education Award Scheme
Continuous personal development is important to ExxonMobil. We want you to exceed and be the best! Once you've settled into ExxonMobil, you could find yourself wanting to undertake a professional qualification relating to your area such as CIMA, CIPD, CIM. If you do, then ExxonMobil will not only help you financially, but also tim0-wise to ensure that you get the best out of your qualification
Sports Facilities
At a number of our locations we have subsidised gym facilities on site therefore there's no longer an excuse not to go to the gym!
Subsidised dining facilities
At a number of our locations we have subsidised dining facilities where you can eat like a king for much less than a princely sum.
Active Social Clubs at most locations
We have a whole range of social clubs open to all employees. If there isn't one to suit you then you are more than welcome to suggest a new one to us!
