Process Engineer Offers Decision: ExxonMobil, Dow, or LyondellBasell

Industry

Hi, I’m living in the Houston region and have 3 offers all in downstream petrochemical. To stay anonymous, I can’t give specifics (as much as I’d like to). Exxon pays 16K more than Lyondell but has no bonus. Lyondell pays just a bit more than Dow. Both Lyondell and Dow Both compensation/benefits and culture are important to me. New hire

Exxon Spring Campus with a future rotation in Baton Rouge, Beaumont, Corpus, or Baytown

Dow - Freeport

LyondellBasell - Houston Manufacturing Site

I haven’t given enough comp info for the sake of anonymity but if you had a choice based on culture alone, where would you pick?

All of these roles are in traditional chemical technologies (bulk chemicals) not polymers
