Pros

A lot of the people you work with are delightful, willing to teach, and genuinely want to be productive helpful employees. A lot of employees are willing to mentor and the career opportunities at the corporation are fantastic. Pay was great, benefits too. Best I've seen in the energy industry.

Cons

Forced ranking system is archaic and disincentives team work. Insecure employees end up working for themselves rather than the good of the corporation and turn to political games that help nobody except make themselves look good at the expense of productivity for the company Some employees and their managers in field offices are glaringly inappropriate. Good ole boy mentality outside Houston. Employees are highly commoditized and WFH is not accomodated

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.
