Pros

Global corporation with strong technological and financial foundations, operational excellence and comprehensive employee development process providing multi-faceted long-term career progression and rewarding learning opportunities everyday. Three words to describe it: safety, meritocracy and brainpower.

Cons

Things take time here, corporate culture is historically conservative and risk averse. This can be seen both as pro and as con, however may not reconcile well with millennial attitude to get everything here and now. The focus on rational reasoning, facts and analytical approach should not be abandoned in any case, but faster decision making is vital for maintaining competitive edge and retaining top talents.

Pros

Great all around compensation - from salary, benefits (401k & pension & flexible work], medical [fantastic] Great people - at the company you understand everyone around is came from being one of the smartest people at their previous job/university. Within IT the overwhelming majority of people really care for you, this feels way more collaborative than competitive. Career Development - lots of opportunities to grow in breadth of experience to get deep in your skills and grow in leadership skills

Cons

Work Politics - being such a large corporation with a lot of history there is a tendency to be work politics/red tape sheerly because of the size of the company. However, it is not really bad if you are willing network , put yourself out there to talk with leaders, and be a normal hard-working enjoyable employee. If you do these two things you will succeed at ExxonMobil.
