Pros

Excellent salary, very knowledgable and experienced co-workers and subject matter experts. Rarely did I feel an answer to a question was more than a phone call away. Great opportunity to see the world. Conservative approach (as compared to others E&P operators) allows it be profitable and stable during downturns.

Cons

Rating and ranking systems don't always capture value individual employees bring to the organization. Bureaucracy of management systems can be frustrating and requires employees to understand intent of the systems rather than the letter of the law to be effective for managing the business.

Pros

Great all around compensation - from salary, benefits (401k & pension & flexible work], medical [fantastic] Great people - at the company you understand everyone around is came from being one of the smartest people at their previous job/university. Within IT the overwhelming majority of people really care for you, this feels way more collaborative than competitive. Career Development - lots of opportunities to grow in breadth of experience to get deep in your skills and grow in leadership skills

Cons

Work Politics - being such a large corporation with a lot of history there is a tendency to be work politics/red tape sheerly because of the size of the company. However, it is not really bad if you are willing network , put yourself out there to talk with leaders, and be a normal hard-working enjoyable employee. If you do these two things you will succeed at ExxonMobil.
