Pros

Good paying job, good benefits, alot of other perks.

Cons

They have no respect for older people, and I am not old so I am not writing this about me, however they get rid of you if you know too much. They want young ignorant workers who barely can run the units and then upper management micromanages the heck out of you. People get hurt out there unnecessarily due to a fear based safety program that does not prepare you properly. If you do too much they view you as a rule breaker. The benefits are OK but they do not offer a bonus. Yes they offer a pension but they place alot of rules around it and it will be lowered by the time you qualify to draw. They push a safety program that focuses on fear and what is the worst that can happen to you to push focus. Instead they could help you learn what causes lack of focus and how to prevent it and why it happens along with sharings. They hide alarms because the operators are afraid to alarm due to management documentation of them not being on top of operations and the community reporting releases. Very disfunctional group who will get more people hurt because of there programs and policies that are too numerous and too accusatory to let people get better at there jobs.

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.
