Pros

It is a great company to work for if you are outspoken, willing tow the line (regardless of your own beliefs and principles) and willing to put in extra hours. The company rewards hard work and people who puts themselves out there.

Cons

XOM practices force ranking and the assessment is often subjective. If you are technically capable but quiet in nature, it is hard for you to do well. The management also practice favoritism. I have seen many cases where a manager misbehaves but it is protected because their manager needs to save face to protect themselves for having promoting this person.

Pros

- Great learning opportunity - get to work with some of the most knowledgeable, hard working, smart, and well rounded individuals - Learn top of the industry engineering skills and fundamentals - Strong emphasis on data backed decision making

Cons

- Extremely political, differentiation between high performers is typically more about how well you've advertised yourself and what aliances you've made as opposed to your actual contributions - Very resistant to change, everything is essentially already mapped out for you - Too rigid of a work environment with little room for individuality or new ways of approaching old problems
