Pros

Pays well, opportunity for travel

Cons

Very bureaucratic and boring. Focus on process rather than product. Best to do nothing rather than do something wrong. The secret to success is to be totally hands off. Overrun with administrators and advisors. For every person doing work, there is someone watching them. Over the years they have become erratic. At one point they set long term strategies, now they seem to swing wildly. One day it's an extreme process orientation, next day, cut costs, next day security and controls.

Pros

Exxon Mobil is the Industry leader. They have the money and the resources to research, develop, and produce top notch solutions to technological challenges. They pay excellent salaries, provide ample training to maintain expertise, and offer opportunities in many different fields. The Safety culture is among the best.

Cons

The company is very conservative and can miss out on first mover opportunities. The employee appraisal "Rating and Ranking" system is antiquated and widely disliked.

Pros

Provides opportunities to rotate and do different jobs and aquire different types of skill sets Pretty good discount on fuel/gas/petrol purchases from company gas stations

Cons

Company has started to select people for promotions based on not what they've done at work but more on leading roles in extra curricular activities Relative ranking system badly affects people who are less visible and less talkative in a global ranking system
