Pros

Great people, fantastic compensation. The group I worked with were very helpful, intelligent and fun. Overall I spent a great deal of time learning the corporate culture and studying the Oil and Gas field. After I had completed this start-up phase, I found the work very rewarding. I enjoyed my team very much as they were competent and reliable.

Cons

Large company means a great deal of corporate structure to work with. Takes some time to get up to speed and this may be disconcerting at first, but over time your production will normalize and the experience becomes much more pleasurable. The company is committed to employee development and they offer tuition reimbursement and extensive training throughout your career.

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.
