Great place to launch your career but don't stay too long!

Pros

Lots of different job experiences and opportunities for personal development. They have good training programs and you can move into areas of great responsibility without a lot of prior work experience. Very good pay, work life balance in most positions and great benefits.

Cons

Company is very regimented but not as stuffy as its reputation. There is a company process for everything and not open to variance. Management holds all the cards, a lot of things are done in secrecy and you depend on your manager to be your advocate. Opportunities are created for those deemed to be stars. Everybody else has to make their own way.

Pros

I felt I got the most incredible education at ExxonMobil. I feel like I have a better business/management education than I could have ever received at Harvard, and I was paid for it!

Cons

A lot of work gets done at Exxon based on who you know. In my evaluations, I competed against people who worked 20-25 years at Exxon. I didn't know a soul who had a position of responsibility under the age of 45. Don't expect a promotion for 5+ years. (I am not talking about the lateral moves or a move to 'team lead'. Expect a lot of them.)

A good solid place to work.

Business Outlook

Pros

Strong ethics, good people, and opportunities for growth. No matter what you do, if you feel that a situation is wrong, management is good about making sure that everything conducted is done with high ethics.

Cons

Not much fun. You may feel like you don't contribute a lot due to the size of the company. There may be several people on your team, but sometimes the problems you face seem so minor. Since it's a huge company, change takes forever as well.
