Pros
ExxonMobil is an innovative work environment bringing an opportunity to work with bright people from all over the world. I have held jobs across Manufacturing, Logistics and Projects over a ~10 year career. I'm consistently engaged at work and learning something new everyday. The new maternity and paternity benefits recently allowed my husband and I a great leave with our 1 year old boy! Great 401K match, pension plan and insurance policies are an added bonus!
Cons
Work locations in the US are largely concentrated around the Gulf Coast. The international opportunities offer much more location diversity.
Advice to Management
Continue the current path toward an inclusive and empowered work force. Also continue positive policy changes such as the recent improvements to maternity and paternity leave.

Pros
Retirement savings matching (free money).
Ernst and Young financial planning at no cost.
Education reimbursement, if you're interested in going back to school.
They take your own personal career desires into account
Competitive salary.
Annual raises.
Very competent colleagues.
Ample exposure to a diverse variety of colleagues around the world.
Good amount of travel opportunities.Cons
Personally, I would rather not work for an oil company.
Incredibly bureaucratic and hierarchical management.
VERY noticeable age gap between the younger progressive professionals and the older stodgy white hairs.
No bonuses.
Employees are ranked against each other, and not informed of their ranking.
VERY slow to adapt to new technologies.
They are their own worst enemy when they try to move fast.Advice to Management
Empower your younger employees. The conversation amongst the younger crowd is currently about "where are you planning to work when you leave ExxonMobil", but it should be about "where do you want to work with ExxonMobil".
Take some risks.
Ease up on the dress code.
Make me stop coming to sites like this and LinkedIn to browse other opportunities. I don't have a burning desire to leave, but ExxonMobil hasn't convinced me that this is where I should spend my career.ExxonMobil 2018-08-24 20:43 PDTHelpful (1)

Constraints placed on Program and Project Managers to do sometimes what is strategically, and tactfully right for the customer.
