Pros

Graduate staff are young, enthusiastic and fun to work with. The technical work is interesting with a lot of responsibility upfront compared to other majors.

Cons

Very red tape driven, little innovation and encourages conformance. Ranking system does not necessarily award employees based on merit and performance. It relies too heavily on one or two supervisor opinions. Supervisors are a mixed bag - some great but most lacking any vision and generally toe the company line.

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.
