Pros

Top 500 corporation - a great start for your career/resume from year 1-5.

Cons

Long term - you are simply an employee number at the end of the day. The closer you get to retirement your ranking will drop and it will be convenient to let you go before reaching retirement. Worrying about your employment status every few years due to the industry. If they over extend in oil exploration, they apply the same layoff standard to all sides of the business no matter how profitable your team is. Highly recommend you avoid this corporation if you have a family and a good heart that truly cares about people. Moved all customer service jobs to Buenos Aires - does not care about employing USA - only cares about pennies on the dollar no matter where they can get it. Look at Shell and Chevron before ExxonMobil as they allow their employees to interview for other jobs in the company before laying them off. If you are looking for a sales position they are moving away from outside sales to support customers to save more $$.

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.
