Pros

• Good pay - because let's be honest, that's why you're working here • Quick learning - there's no training, so you have to learn quickly to survive • Everyone is smart - you get to work with some wickedly intelligent people

Cons

• No respect unless you're a chemical engineer • You will not succeed unless you are a hyper Type-A Consultant personality • Forced rankings and pressure-cooker environment puts everyone on edge • High stress, up or out culture drives everyone to only care about themselves • There's a procedure for how to walk up stairs, and you will be evaluated on your ability to follow it

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.
