Pros

Strong technical, self motivated people. Hires the best and retains for life World class pay, 401K, health benefits, and even has pension plan Ability to work across various business sectors Plenty of training opportunities Even in the recent O&G downturn, jobs were relatively secure

Cons

Arcane ranking system, demotivates a lot of people. Even managers say they don't like it, why not change it. Very conservative. Many ideas, projects get killed at an early stage. Flat structure. Growth can be slow. Poor paternity policies.

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.
