Pros

Great Pay, great benefits, combined with some of the best training in the industry makes this a great place for people who are looking for a good stepping stone into the industry or a very serious, very competitive environment. Opportunities are always available at Exxonmobil, but you must take the initiative, do not expect someone else to promote yourself.

Cons

This is work not fun and you know it at Exxonmobil. Do not think that you will work here and find a social haven. Also, Exxonmobil does not offer many of the more youth oriented perks that competitors do like the 9/80 work week, or a large amount of base vacation time.

Pros

The benefits and stability of the company give a feeling of security. Salaries tend to be on par with similar jobs in the industry. Depending on the job function and the individual, opportunities are available to take numerous assignments in a relatively short period of time. I have been impressed by the quality of my peers and a general willingness to help -- more experienced employees are happy to share their knowledge and often serve as informal mentors. Certain areas of the company seem to genuinely encourage a healthy work / life balance while others are making an effort to move toward a more flexible and employee-friendly workplace.

Cons

Employee morale is generally low. Formal feedback tends to be vague and lags behind by over a year, making it difficult to improve in rankings. Career development is often dependent upon the direct supervisor, who may or may not make an effort to provide growth opportunities such as training or special assignments. Senior management is far removed from the entry- or mid-level employee and communication regarding goals and objectives are often contradicted as it moves down through the layers of management. Younger employees feel unheard, not respected, and often taken for granted. In recent years, a number of employees have left the company for a competitor -- not for a new position or even better pay / benefits. They simply found that they were treated better.
