Pros

Corporate training center is on our campus which presents the opportunity to learn as much as you want to. The work environment is very university-like, taking time to think, read, research is encouraged.

Cons

The corporate culture is stiff, not very warm and fuzzy. Exxon prides itself on being very methodical with a long time frame for success. This can be frustrating for those who like a more dynamic environment. Technical staff, the lab workers, do the heavy lifting but are not on the radar screen as far as management is concerned.

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.
