Pros

Pension, Salary, Benefits are all great People that are some of the best and kindest folks. They're the reason I stayed so long.

Cons

The culture had been changing for the better for a while and then with Covid and the tough economy, leaders went back to old, poor behaviors and it's become a very toxic place. Leadership is really struggling with their vision and what they want to be, I've never seen leaders get paid so much to do so little, and behave in ways that actively encourage people to leave. There's no vision currently and nobody asking people to stay, The ranking system gives mixed messages where you're not ranked well, but your supervisor says you're great; and it creates unintended and unhealthy behaviors.

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.
