Pros

Extremely competitive pay and benefits compared to most of the industry. Global reputation and name recognition that can open doors anywhere. Exposure to large-scale, complex projects and cutting-edge technology.

Cons

The company culture can feel very harsh — they justify the high pay by pushing employees to their limits. Constant pressure, with relentless performance feedback and ranking. A strong sense of job insecurity: layoffs happen frequently, and you’re never fully safe. Many employees feel it’s almost impossible to stay long-term without sacrificing mental health.

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.
