Pros

- Managers are always giving support - Great team members - Decent pay but given the high workload, it should be beyond what they offer - Managers are always OK to give time off, holiday breaks and WFH - Trainings - Growth is always their priority

Cons

- Hiring seems very slow, the requirements are very niche for the current job market - The name of the game for IT in Asia Pacific is reducing costs, therefore you are getting peanuts. Always ask for better pay. - Everyone is wearing multiple hats, most of the time its beyond your capabilities and would cause burnouts even for managers and good programmers - Full time remote work is not available - Extended evening meetings

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.
