Pros

Good work life balance Fair compensation Good medical benefits

Cons

Prepare to be a bootlicker in order to thrive in the company The leadership framework requires employees to uphold a certain standard framework especially transparency, however when it comes to actual communication. Its the least to expect transparency from them Soft skills/management talks are more regarded than technical skills Innovative ideas can’t go far due to bureaucratic layers

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.
