Pros

Career advancement opportunities are everywhere. Total compensation is outstanding. In my specialty, work is usually valued, and sometimes even interesting.

Cons

People are moved through different positions too quickly in many cases, which leads to a lack of depth when dealing with others in the company. However, the people in the company seem to be better than average, so that is not always as bad as it would be at some companies. Because of the rapid moves in management, people are not in a position long enough to be held responsible for bad long-term decisions, which has led to short-term management thinking.

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.
