Avantages

A lot of opportunities, educational matching program (if you donate to your university, 3:1 match for years, changed to 2:1 in 2019 but wonderful program and much appreciated), very structured and thorough work processes, well compensated with good benefits, wonderful colleagues, great technical information available and a lot of teamwork opportunities, incredible safety culture and safety performance, good "extra curricular" activities like networks, recruiting

Inconvénients

Culture = some locations have a very uptight/all business work culture that is very tough for certain personality types. The ranking system is terrible in many ways: it makes people afraid of disagreement with management, it makes people focused on pleasing their bosses vs. performing their jobs to their best ability (those might sound like they align but they don't align in significant ways), fear of failure, downplaying/hiding failures, people will help each other but general "head down, self focus" is encouraged vs. being more altruistic and improving others vs. yourself. Lack of transparency (especially in 2020 regarding changes in performance evaluation that resulted in a larger number than typical colleagues being dismissed for performance issues, people felt this was a "disguised layoff", it probably was all above board but lack of transparency about the change led educated rational people to jump to the "disguised layoff" conclusion so I would say there is something base case wrong with perception of management). People in higher level management feel unapproachable and you need to run ideas up the chain.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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.
