Pros

Compensation and benefits are probably the best reasons to work for Exxon. It is a company that takes things in a very process-oriented fashion, slow and steady, and you are encouraged to do your homework before pursuing an idea.

Cons

Beauracracy - too much paperwork, hoops, etc. Maybe this is expected from most big companies, but sometimes it seems that it impedes your ability to work.

Pros

Good pay and a pension

Cons

Everything else. Benefits are lackluster, Flex Your Day policies are elusive. The company changes everything all the time so that a large portion of your time is spent finding new links to things on the portal, figuring out who to contact in various departments and in what country just to get a simple answer to a question. No one stays in the same role long enough to get good at their job. Morale is terrible.
