Pros

Competitive salary, benefits, and technical training.

Cons

The organization has been slow to respond to the changing industry and this was highlighted by COVID. Candor and the voicing of contrary views are not valued by management. Senior Leadership has not been very visible during the pandemic. Darren lacks sincere empathy and often comes across as out of touch, aloof, and arrogant. For those familiar with Jim Collins' book "Good to Great," it is incredibly obvious the company lacks level 5 leadership at a very critical and challenging time in the industry.

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.
