Pros

This is a good stable company that takes time to make the decisions count. Hear so much criticism about oil companies, but I see other companies that are far worse and so much less progressive, yes even compared to ExxonMobil. I can say that I am not proud of the past reputation of the company but the strategy looking forward is what truly counts now. The community partnerships are valuable and get so little recognition. I have to say that there are some truly great things that Exxon is involved in that do not get the recognition it deserves.

Cons

Very easy to get lost in the shuffle of such a large company and you really have to prove your mettle to get advances and promotions due to the competition.

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.
