Pros

The security of working for a big company is pretty nice. I don't worry that ExxonMobil won't be around tomorrow. There is an emphasis on work-life balance (at least in my division - others may not be as lucky).

Cons

It's easy to get lost in the huge corporate jungle in such a large company. There is a lot of red tape associated with working there. A simple request takes days/weeks to get approval up and down the line. There are two reactions when you tell someone you work for "evil" big oil - they hate it or love it - there is no in between.

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.
