Pros

Some of the best Benefits and Salary in the industry (and entire private sector).

Cons

Very cut throat. "UP or OUT" mentality. You're ranked against your peers and the bottom 15-20% are pushed out the door. No work/life balance at all. Be ready to work 50+ hours per week.

Pros

In my opinion Exxon Mobil deserves this advanced position in all economical reviews (Forbes, CNN Money, Economist...etc). Being the highest net profit after taxes in all industries all over the world for years is not an easy achievement. It's the perfect place to learn and acquire as much knowledge as you could acquire. It has a very powerful system and very efficient guidelines and procedures. Environment in Exxon Mobil is friendly. And most of managers and peers are disciplined and well educated. In Exxon Mobil, the managers empower the employees once they trust them. The management respects the employees and trusts them. Moreover, working in Exxon Mobil provides the employee with kind of prestige and social status. And Finally, Exxon Mobil has the best in class pension plan.

Cons

Exxon Mobil is process oriented rather than people oriented. Compensation is good but not competitive. Training programs are relatively weak. Recognition and Awarding needs to be improved
