Pros

Genuine job-for-life approach, with long term career progression and employee development. Good salary and pension (still as of Jan 2020 final salary which is almost unheard of these days).

Cons

You are "posted" to a new job, rather than applying for it. Think of it more like being in the army. You have an influence over your next job, but not exactly a say. This has worked fine for me, it's probably not for everyone though

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.
