Great company but minimal worklife balance. The pay is excellent but you'll have no free time to enjoy the extra money. - Controller ExxonMobil Employee Review

Pros

You get to work with some of the brightest people in the world. There is a big gap in employees since they stopped hiring for almost a decade. Senior management is about to retire while middle management is in their 30s.

Cons

Since senior mgmt. is so much older, they do not like change. Old systems. Old methods of doing things. Very resistant to any kind of change. Lack of quality managers.

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.
