Pros

Pay is ok and the benefits are above average

Cons

ALL decisions are made at the very very top so everyone underneath is just managing up. Performance management is forced distribution. Basically every employee is stacked against each other and the bottom 8% are offered a package to leave. This leads to a ton of anxiety with the workforce and makes daily life pretty terrible. There is nothing modern or progressive about the company. They don’t support work flexibility or remote work. It’s all very uptight and unpleasant.

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.
