Pros

First class job in recruiting so you work with very good people. The work is intense and challenging. Excellent benefits including company match and retirement (if you can make it). Safety culture is, without question, best in class.

Cons

Incredible amount of corporate BS. Good Ole Boy network is strong. Doing a god job is not enough to get promoted. Forced ranking and pay structure is a disgrace and everyone eventually falls below the line. Management likes to build silos so there is no lateral opportunities among divisions. No mercy for employees during the myriad of restructurings.

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.
