Pros

The only real positive is stability of the company due to its size. If you are interested in international work the opportunities certainly exist.

Cons

The company uses the Exxon name as a selling point that they assume carries some weight when their pay and benefits do not measure up to industry standard. Coming from an independent O&G producer recently bought by Exxon, we used to make fun of them because we operated better, faster & cheaper. We worked hard because we achieved results without political red tape and were paid accordingly in addition to great benefits.

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.
