Pros

- compensation - compensation - compensation - that is the only pro.

Cons

- extremely traditional and old school. job openings do not get publicly announced. - promotions happen through a "secret" committee. - forced ranking for performance management - no regard to work/life balance. I was working 80-100 hours a week. 40 in the field and 40 in the office. - forced relocations. you can negotiate to stay in your current geography but promotions will not happen if you choose this. - you feel like you work for exxonmobil. you never feel like you ARE exxonmobil - no published org chart

Pros

International opportunities, international scope and experience (at least in the marketing group)

Cons

-VERY political and VERY bureaucratic- an incredibly frustrating culture for people that want to work and get things done -Slow moving and risk averse, even for Big Oil -Workforce lacks the levels of diversity seen in other Fortune 500 firms -Software, etc. is extremely out-dated and difficult to work with -Pretend to be friendly toward alternative energy but behind closed doors often openly deride all that is not oil/gas
