Pros

- You get paid very well - You can usually stay employed there for life if you want to and are competent in your job - The medial and 401k benefits are hard to beat.

Cons

- Very hostile workplace culture. The ranking system for engineers makes everyone very competitive and unwilling to assist their coworkers. - Your coworkers don't feel "like family". People don't look out for each other. - You are expected to work ridiculous hours in most engineering positions. If you have endeavors outside of work that take up significant amounts of time, this isn't the company for you.

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.
