Pros

Looming Pension still stands but for how much longer.. No one knows!

Cons

3 years ago I would have commented differently. The company is going down fast and furious. Unwilling to adopt new technology or willing to accept the world's energy transition. Safety culture is beyond repairable and overwhelming. Company is unwilling to adopt work from home option for any employee regardless of situation - this is leading to the loss of most of top talent. Change is needed and this company holds the same values as it has for the past 100 years. What worked then doesn't work now. Change is good - adopt it! Say Yes to the company regardless of what your personal opinion is in order to survive here

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.
