Pros

You will work with extremely intelligent people

Cons

Specifically to EMIT, the company has absolutely 0 intention to take advantage of the brilliant talent that they have recruited from university. Applications are a means to an end, and innovation is not encourage. However, what is social interaction with your managers and other organizations. Vanity projects, with little to no business value, are heavily rewarded, while quantitative metrics ($$ saved) are not.

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.
