Pros

Competitive salary, decent 401(k) plan (although some others in industry are better), good health benefits, enthusiastic people (for the most part)

Cons

Limited breath of experiences available (managers decide your career path, not you), corporate policies can be suffocating, management promotion decisions rarely make sense (terrible leaders get promoted), limited flexible work schedule (no 9-80's even though others in industry have it)

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.
