Pros

Pay, benefits, and the campus is nice if you like how hospitals feel and no privacy.

Cons

If you're a creative professional looking for a supportive and collaborative workplace, look elsewhere. This company fosters a fear-based work culture through its toxic ranking system, which pits employees against one another, including against their own managers. There’s a reason why performance assessments are jokingly referred to as “The Hunger Games” among employees. Leadership thrives on ambiguity, and many managers will either neglect you entirely, refuse to delegate meaningful work, or actively sabotage you by speaking out of both sides of their mouth. Accountability is nonexistent, and favoritism runs rampant. That said, having this company on your resume may open doors elsewhere—but the toll it takes on your well-being may not be worth it. Proceed with caution.

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.
