Pros

If you take the time to understand the culture, you will do very well. Exxon has a very strong culture. It has been around for +100 years and they are proud of it. Don't try to change it, but rather understand it and you enjoy a bright future. One of the best reasons to work for Exxon is the assignment opportunities they provide if you prove worthy, in addition to the benefits.

Cons

Its a very old culture. Slow to change and adapt. You should find your place in it in order to enjoy a bright career. Seldom anyone will guide you through it. Its your job to ask and seek then you will find.

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.
