Pros

One of the most successful long-running companies of all time. If you are in the oil and gas business, working for this type of large operator provides high pay and some more stability than in other parts of the industry.

Cons

Expected to change jobs and possibly move far away every few years. Forced ranking system demoralizes a lot of staff. Oil and gas industry is volatile and layoffs will come.

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.
