Pros

They have a lot of assets all over the world but little knowledge about how to operate them.

Cons

I worked at Exxon for less than a year before quitting. The company was frustrating to work at due to how inefficiently they operate. Projects tools 2-3x the amount of time they should have. They offer very little incentive to excel at your job so everyone kind of just coasts by. I thought Exxon being a major operator would mean they’re at the top of the game but they actually turned out to have archaic infrastructure and practices. Get the name on your resume and then bail.

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.
