Pros

Good pay with great opportunities for advancement. Many high levels positions will be left vacant in the coming years as the Baby Boomer generation retires, making them available for those of us moving up in the company. Supervisors have always been great about allowing leave to take care of personal matters.

Cons

Travel requirements for high level advancement (although undertsandable) can put a strain on family life. This is especially hard if your spouse has a good career in a different industry. Depending on where you are located and the assignment you are in it can be tough to be noticed by people higher up in the company because it is so large. This really forces you to try and come up with new innnovative ways to accomplish things and get that recignition most people are looking for.

Pros

Good compensation, excellent leadership opportunities, and excellent opportunities for international travel. I have found my work very interesting and worthwhile. Additionally the current demographics of the company give alot of future opportunities for advancement. I am excited to working at ExxonMobil and the career possibilities it will give me.

Cons

Work life balance isn't the best, but ExxonMobil is full of smart people who keep pushing the limits on how much they can they can achieve. Compared to my peers I work more hours then them but I am also paid quite a bit more then them. ExxonMobil is a conservative, risk adverse company that doesn't move very quickly but also won't be laying anyone off any time soon either. Down or up this company will be constant and look long term.

Pros

Great people, fantastic compensation. The group I worked with were very helpful, intelligent and fun. Overall I spent a great deal of time learning the corporate culture and studying the Oil and Gas field. After I had completed this start-up phase, I found the work very rewarding. I enjoyed my team very much as they were competent and reliable.

Cons

Large company means a great deal of corporate structure to work with. Takes some time to get up to speed and this may be disconcerting at first, but over time your production will normalize and the experience becomes much more pleasurable. The company is committed to employee development and they offer tuition reimbursement and extensive training throughout your career.
