Pros

This is a good stable company that takes time to make the decisions count. Hear so much criticism about oil companies, but I see other companies that are far worse and so much less progressive, yes even compared to ExxonMobil. I can say that I am not proud of the past reputation of the company but the strategy looking forward is what truly counts now. The community partnerships are valuable and get so little recognition. I have to say that there are some truly great things that Exxon is involved in that do not get the recognition it deserves.

Cons

Very easy to get lost in the shuffle of such a large company and you really have to prove your mettle to get advances and promotions due to the competition.

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

Pros

Pay and benefit are one of the best, 401k and/plus pension plan. Work is not back breaking, very relax, no pressure. Fun to work. Lots of overtime. Management care for everyone's safety, safety being their first priority then our environment. No slowdown or employee lay-off. Lay-off is a word that is not in their vocabulary. A lot of employee give aways, gifts and rewards for being safe, quarterly luncheons and off-site team building get together. They provide yearly supply of work uniforms. I don't need to buy my own work clothes, yearly supply of work boots. I can order any hand tools, power tools, measuring tools and equipment that I need for the job. Regular supplies of coffee, creamer, drinking bottled water, refreshing gatorade soda cans all year round especcially during the summer.

Cons

I started working when I was 15 years old for a lot of small and big companies and I CAN NOT THINK OF ANY DOWNSIDES OF WORKING FOR EXXONMOBIL. Like any other companies they are not perfect and these are not considered downside of working at Exxonmobil
