Pros

Competitive salary (at least for now)

Cons

ExxonMobil used to be progressive company, but that changed in recent years. People are treated like commodity. Little prospect for growth, but this is mostly due to old nature of Oil&Gas industry. During annual review you will be told generic lines by your supervisor to justify your rank if you are in the middle or bottom. Work culture is toxic and employees bad mouth each other just to get a head (i.e. dirty competition encouraged by the new management) If you are at early stages of your career, and smart, then I recommend putting your efforts in alternate companies and industries that have better chance of success.

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.
