Pros

Central management is the norm at ExxonMobil not a federated model. This can help in pushing management initiatives downward. However, this can be difficult in getting things accomplished without a number of stakeholders approvals.

Cons

Although there are a number of job opportunities for advancement this is a very individual contributor mentality driven company. There is very little team development and only those who are aggressive at the expense of others they are ranked against on the same team will move forward. If you are good at selling your own agendas at the expense of others and sacrificing your work life balance you will be rewarded monetarily.

Pros

Good opportunities for networking and travel.

Cons

A significant HR issue between interns occurred during my internship and was handled very poorly. Once the matter came to HR’s and leadership’s attention, it was not officially resolved until months after the internship had ended. The VP privately apologized for the situation, but the overall response was inadequate and felt as though the situation was being swept under the rug. The lack of timely communication and follow-up created a very uncomfortable environment for a young intern and significantly impacted what was otherwise a positive internship experience.
