Pros

Perks - accommodation in great hotels and international trips in business class for business travel. Job security - If you are complacent and just want money in your account at the end of the month, this is the best company to work at

Cons

No short term growth in terms of either career or salary 1. Management is very clear - ExxonMobil is not a paymaster 2. Your "potential" is assessed about a year or so after you join. Subsequent moves within the company are based on this assessment. If your potential is assessed at, say, country manager level, your career path is planned such that you keep moving between lower level roles such that you end up at said level a few years before retirement.

Pros

Good opportunities for networking and travel.

Cons

A significant HR issue between interns occurred during my internship and was handled very poorly. Once the matter came to HR’s and leadership’s attention, it was not officially resolved until months after the internship had ended. The VP privately apologized for the situation, but the overall response was inadequate and felt as though the situation was being swept under the rug. The lack of timely communication and follow-up created a very uncomfortable environment for a young intern and significantly impacted what was otherwise a positive internship experience.
