Pros

- Great learning opportunity - get to work with some of the most knowledgeable, hard working, smart, and well rounded individuals - Learn top of the industry engineering skills and fundamentals - Strong emphasis on data backed decision making

Cons

- Extremely political, differentiation between high performers is typically more about how well you've advertised yourself and what aliances you've made as opposed to your actual contributions - Very resistant to change, everything is essentially already mapped out for you - Too rigid of a work environment with little room for individuality or new ways of approaching old problems

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.
