Pros

As most profitable public company in the world, it is an extremely stable company. If you do your job well, you don't have to worry about losing it. This company is not going to go out of business. The compensation is very fair starting out and raises typically are greater than inflation and the market. The full benefits package is excellent, as ExxonMobil is one of the few companies still giving a pension. As a huge company, you can do many different jobs in many different places in the world without changing employers (i.e. maintain your seniority, vesting, vacation, etc.).

Cons

There is no job posting system. You have some input into what kind of job you would like to do next, however, management frequently decides for you what your next assignment will be.

Pros

Very good engineering company with brilliant coworkers, Amazing salary and benefits, pension and generous 401K. I retired at 58 yo with an amazing pension package that put me in the top 3% of US retirees.

Cons

Job satisfaction in an abstract concept. Job employment security is nonexistent and the employee performance system is highly subjective. I had a very succesful career for 34 years, but recognize that it is a toxic environment and the company is not just for anyone. It requires a high tolerance for abuse, daily grind and long hours.
