Pros

Extremely well compensated. Only hires the best and brightest. Unlimited potential. Crushes the competition with brains and their wallet. Don't need a fancy degree to get ahead, just a willingness to do what is necessary. Employees of ExxonMobil are family, and will be treated as such. Majority of employees will retire millionaires.

Cons

You will work. A lot. And you will think. A lot. You will most likely always feel like the dumbest person in the room. The best will do big things, the stragglers will slowly but surely fall out.

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.
