Pros

Exxon is Exxon, the best. Want to work for the best, and be scene as the best join Exxon. Exxon has a large IT organization and plenty of defferent challegs to tackle. With above average pay and long term mindset, Exxon will make a great employer.

Cons

Exxon has a very strong culture. If you can't figure it out, you can not maneuver. A lot of people will complain about Exxon, but you will find the same thing at other companies. Exxon has a tough system, but it works. Our success over the years shows this.

Pros

Exxon provides a very disciplined approach to managing corporate direction and thus is relatively stable. In general, the pension and 401k are hard to beat benefits. You have an opportunity to work on some of the largest projects in the world.

Cons

Exxon is NOT an innovator, and requires it's engineers be bureaucrats rather than solve problems. Work and culture are abysmal environments, based on fear and punishment. Security and controls drive every aspect of daily business, and money is wasted for this purpose. It's approach to diversity and inclusion is an embarrassment. ExxonMobil does not branch out in the way it approaches today's energy challenges -- the only card they are willing to play is oil. No investigation in solar, wind, biofuels, etc.

Pros

Stability and great experience. With such a large company there are vast opportunities to work in a variety of places around the world. Also communication and collaboration is very impressive with such a large company.

Cons

It is a very slim and trim operation. There's a reason why it consistantly makes a great profit than similar comapnies because of disciplined management. So the perks and fringe benefits you might see at smaller companies are not here. Also because it is the biggest and most profitable, it is also the most hated and everyone likes to put its sights on the company. There are no official 9/80s but the flex schedule program is a good if not better surrogate which allows for very very flexible work hours. The flex schedule is probably a greater advantage to employees with families and children but is still very useful to single employees.
