Pros

Exxon Mobil provides global career and development opportunities that small companies cannot compete with. Global travel opportunities are tremendous. The company operates efficiently and effectively in a responsible manner. Exxon Mobil also treats its employees with respect and encourages volunteerism and community involvement. Over the past several years, Exxon Mobil has also improved it's focus on promoting a positive work life balance. In general, Exxon Mobil is a good company to work for.

Cons

Exxon Mobil's disciplined environment, while often an advantage, can sometimes stifle creativity and new ideas. The employee ranking system has some benefits, but can make the workplace overly competitive and political; this sometimes results in losing or disenfranchising talented employees.

Pros

Career advancement is key, young engineers are given a lot of opportunity to advance. Global presence is obvious, but the technical teams tend to form small families, so you really get to know the experts in the entire world. Job security is high and salary is ok. Morale can swing, but most times they are good. Safety is always something to keep in mind, but the industry understands how to run the business. In the end, a good place to work for young folks, worse case you can always good to another company after Exxon has trained you up. Thanks.

Cons

Red tape, public perception of the company.

Pros

Global organization with some opportunities to travel (depending on position). You will also be exposed to many facets of the business.

Cons

working long hours. Working in a Global organization, and having to work in virtual environment with phone hook ups can really eat into your personal time. Time differences are killers.
