Pros

• Competitive salary for fresh graduates • Comprehensive technical knowledge gain (Many great specialists) • Flexible work hours

Cons

• Remuneration not competitive after 2-3 years inside company and Malaysia employees are treated second class employees (Yearly adjustments lower than inflation rate) • Yearly performance review (PDS) very flawed & outdated (Ranking are based on internal politics & not actual contributions) • Career planning is nil, only way you will get leadership team attention is through resignation notice (By then they will offer you subpar assignment before recalling you back to KLTC after 2-3 years and you are back to bad roles in KLTC) • Work becomes very mundane, and rotation of roles is very slow (You will be looking at the same set of charts for the next 3-4 years without any chance of advancement) • Sugar coating culture is very prominent here (HR and leadership team have pointless employee forums as they have template answers for all employees, don’t have it the first place if its template answers !) • Company direction very outdated, leadership team only started to buy into idea of renewable fuels & CCR after some of board members were voted out !

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.
