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

Commitment to operational integrity and ethical execution of business practices. Strong emphasis on safety and operational excellence across all lines of business from the top to the bottom. ExxonMobil is a company that invests in an individual over their entire career and offers amazing benefits, while engaging employees in challenging and rewarding projects. Flexible work arrangements are very useful and have helped me tremendously.

Cons

ExxonMobil is a large company and executing the various work processes can take time. Complexity of various systems is often unnecessary, or poorly communicated down the line. IT resources are somewhat outdated in some business units.

Pros

Strong career focused company that affords its employees many opportunities to travel and work in all aspects of the company. They have an extremely strong executive leadership development program with many great people that work for the company. Additionally, the benefits, including pension plan and workplace flexibility policy help the make ExxonMobil one of the best companies you could work for in this day in age. Also appreciate the ranking system at the company the great rewards hard work, but is still fair to folks who are not top performers.

Cons

Limited cons, but at the moment the one thing that sticks out is that the stock is flat over the last 10+ years
