Pros

Pay of course. The name means something; means you are successful. (But thats it)

Cons

Lacks Diversity Big Time (not just color, personality and just flat out differences) Very cold environment and not people friendly. Has few support networks for minorities and younger people; most of which are poorly organized and lacks leadership. Needs some re-vamp to the ranking system (I think everyone agrees to this one) Training - well there is none in my opinion; ur just winging it! Young engineers are expected to be politicians and you know what funny money is early on; I like to be the innovator so you can play monopoly in the corner by yourself. Realized that most people die two years after retiring (if you work at a plant like I do)...uhh not a happy thought!

The very best company.

Pros

If you want to die at early age, XOM will be your top choice. Good benefits and salary without bonus. You can get some safety bucks and some free lunch if you are in research and development department.

Cons

None if you like to work harder than others. The company has force ranking system. Feedbacks from high level engineers are very subjective. In the ranking season, everyone is trying to show off in meeting. It is always the best strategy that you brining up very simple data and draw a straight line that can easily understood by the management and most of the audience. There is no 9/80 schedule and everyone works at least nine hours to impress their boss.

ExxonMobil doesn't have a clue because it only listens and promotes people that drink the kool-aid.

Pros

Well Paid, Flexibility in Workplace (which means you can go to the doctor when you need to, but you have to get extra, special permission to work from home, even when fuel prices are over $4 per gallon), solid security and control measures. Global work and workplace opportunities.

Cons

Clandestine management decisions, including career choices, "command and control"-style management, inconsistency (we need new ideas, but can't get beyond year-2000 thinking), low-level leadership panics due to overbearing (and out-of-touch) senior management, lack of vision, lack of stated goals, lack of communication, management immune from hearing feedback from employees due to forced ranking, conducted by supervisors needing the feedback, that determines ones employment status from year to year -- because retribution is always a possibility, despite the controlled nature of the process.
