Pros

Stability, stability, stability. Great place to be in this economy. We're a dinosaur and move slowly but steadily. These days, that is a real bonus! Great coworkers - cohesive group of bright people. Makes for a good workday.

Cons

Only place that can hire 10 Nobel Laureates and fire 2 by the end of 10 years or so the story goes . . . it is tough to compete and deal with the rating and ranking system in some regards. Most employees have never been "average" before and that can be quite tough. Also, XOM is "one size fits all" - if you don't fit in, leave quickly.

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.
