Pros

Global workforce of engaging people who are talented and collaborative. Changing roles often means you are never bored. No skimping on ergonomics, safety, or making travel tenable. Pension and 401k match are great... why most people are still there.

Cons

If you are not in the top 10% 5 years in your best option is to leave. Company prepares you to work only for them as it is hard to be a specialist. DS expats are reserved for Canadians and Europeans or executives. Basically everything is focused on the top 1%, with no effort or planning for those that actually do with work and no aknowlegement that the pay is lower than equivalent responsibility in other companies if you are not on the golden ladder. Company is not promoting minorities or US women, but creating at the same time a feeling that white men cant get ahead because they are not one..basically the worst of both.

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.
