Pros

Great benefits if you are of the baby boomer generation. 401k match, dental, vision, healthcare. If you play ball and decide to devote your whole life to the company, you may be taken care of.

Cons

- Demands all employees work in the office. - Terribly uncompetitive tech pay. - Massively overworked. - Outdated ranking system which serves to harm employees instead of reward high performers. The top brass won't change it because they benefitted from it. - Attrition as people flee a sinking ship. Over 20% this year. - No young talent. - Outdated tech. - Lack of investment in its people. - Competitors offer much more generous and rewarding packages.

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.
