Pros

-Huge corporation with reputation -Flexible working hours and good ergo standards -Good number of vacation days

Cons

-Expected monthly net salary for new full-time comers is somewhere between $750-900 mostly depending on the department, and the senior management is convinced themselves that is the correct supposedly 'competitive market salary. This is absolutely shameful. -Old outdated company systems, and slow work laptops -I feel very discouraged to say anything to the senior management about any process improvements, sharing my worries and giving any honest or transparent feedback. I feel like the whole company only wants you to zip your mouth up or you risk losing your job despite the terrible flaws in the organizational culture and pay system. -If you want to become the modern-day highly educated 'cheap labor' with severely low salary/living cost ratio and struggle financially terribly, then this is the place.

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.
