Pros

For this past summer, I had the opportunity to intern with ExxonMobil. It has been the most challenging and rewarding experience I have ever had, and I strongly encourage everyone here to definitely apply for it and take advantage of this opportunity. One of the most rewarding parts of this experience is getting to know and work with lots of industry experts. It is just such a stimulating environment for you to constantly challenge yourself for better work and performance. This is hands down the most rewarding internship I have ever had. After the internship, I have no doubt in my mind that I would like to join the company full time.

Cons

Extremely competitive environment, might have to go OT from time to time if you want to stand out. But it is in the meantime definitely a motivating environment

Pros

The compensation is pretty close to unbeatable working for Exxon, and the accompanying benefits package when hired full-time is fantastic. Work is challenging and fulfilling and there are many different opportunities and locations available for those with the drive.

Cons

The infamous ranking system causes a competitive and occasionally cutthroat work environment as your coworkers jostle and manipulate to stay ahead. If you're not the type-A personality that thrives at Exxon, you'll very quickly be burnt out.
