Pros

Great learning experience in a global business environment where you can try yourself in different areas. Great people to work with. Usually challenging tasks and responsibilities. The offices are very nice and comfortable and the company is really providing everything you need to do your job including continuous training opportunities . Has a strong culture with great values. Average salary.

Cons

Despite what they are saying the company is not performance oriented at all. There is no real difference in appreciation (salary increase etc) between a top and average performer. As a team leader I don`t feel that I have any tools in my hand to influence the performance of my team. Promotions are not performance based either, but depends on who you know and who you are in good term with. Processes are quite bureaucratic and slow.

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.
