Pros

Multicultural environment with good opportunities to travel. Very good salary.

Cons

Professional knowledge and experience are not valued, they just care about silly things. As an example you can make real progress in the company by just making safety presentations, but forget about challenge. Once somebody told me to be aware of the golden handcuffs, they pay so well that even though your work sucks, you cannot leave it. The stupidity goes to such a level that they even put full size poster of a character called safetyman giving safety advices, I even had to see a coworker with a custom as safety man, with leggings and everything, kind of mediocre superman.

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.
