Pros

The security of working for a big company is pretty nice. I don't worry that ExxonMobil won't be around tomorrow. There is an emphasis on work-life balance (at least in my division - others may not be as lucky).

Cons

It's easy to get lost in the huge corporate jungle in such a large company. There is a lot of red tape associated with working there. A simple request takes days/weeks to get approval up and down the line. There are two reactions when you tell someone you work for "evil" big oil - they hate it or love it - there is no in between.

Exxon is Exxon, the Best

Business Outlook

Pros

Exxon is Exxon, the best. Want to work for the best, and be scene as the best join Exxon. Exxon has a large IT organization and plenty of defferent challegs to tackle. With above average pay and long term mindset, Exxon will make a great employer.

Cons

Exxon has a very strong culture. If you can't figure it out, you can not maneuver. A lot of people will complain about Exxon, but you will find the same thing at other companies. Exxon has a tough system, but it works. Our success over the years shows this.

Strong financials, horrible culture for employees

Business Outlook

Pros

Exxon provides a very disciplined approach to managing corporate direction and thus is relatively stable. In general, the pension and 401k are hard to beat benefits. You have an opportunity to work on some of the largest projects in the world.

Cons

Exxon is NOT an innovator, and requires it's engineers be bureaucrats rather than solve problems. Work and culture are abysmal environments, based on fear and punishment. Security and controls drive every aspect of daily business, and money is wasted for this purpose. It's approach to diversity and inclusion is an embarrassment. ExxonMobil does not branch out in the way it approaches today's energy challenges -- the only card they are willing to play is oil. No investigation in solar, wind, biofuels, etc.
