Very good benefits package; Some teams are beginning to use agile methodologies, which is very good; Company invests on employee with training, ergonomics equipment;

Cons

Ranking process is very individually driven, causing employees to stab each other in the back or create schemas to move up on their careers; No big challenges on the software development side Everything takes a lot of time to change Innovation is difficult when one has to get a lot of approvals and the approvers may not understanding the technical impact of such innovation

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.
