Pros

Good brand name to have on your CV. Many people especially the younger ones are talented and ambitious. Strong safety culture- relevant if you work outfield

Cons

Often expect you to work overtime. If you leave on the dot every time, expect it to reflect badly on your performance. Salary is below average if you count per hour basis work. Type of work is demanding and stressful. Multitasking always required. Expect you to be at tip top performance every time. Inconvenient locations. Expect a long commute. Forced ranking. Don’t ever join if you want an easy path.

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.
