Pros

Good starting point as a fresh grad, very easy to get hired, good starting salary, and you also get very good and marketable professional experience. Generally stable processes and realistic expectations about the workload.

Cons

Low salaries at the individual contributor level, few career opportunities, unusual office culture. Relevant experience from other companies is usually not given much consideration by management.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Global opportunities: travel, expat assignments, international workforce. - Disciplined focus on safety. Top to bottom commitment to safety and environment that is more than just slogans. - Rigorous, methodical approach to risk identification and mitigation. - Consensus building to reach decisions. - Competitive compensation. - The new campus is truly magnificent. - Ability to get through the business cycle without dislocating layoffs or hiring binges.

Cons

- Insular attitude that disregards or dismisses "outsider" thinking. - Inwardly-focused, bureaucratic processes that stifle creativity and result in churn without actual progress towards the goal. - Antiquated ranking system grades everyone on a forced curve. Somebody has to get an F. Every year. No matter what. - Major time lag between performance assessment and change in compensation. Performance bonuses and stock options only for executive pay grades. - Antiquated gender-based expectations of work habits, to the detriment of men who want to see their kids for more than 5 minutes per day. - Fanatical opposition to 9/80 schedules and inconsistent implementation of flexible workplace policy.

Business Outlook

Pros

Interns are assigned buddies and mentors to help them adapt to the new environment ASAP. Projects are challenging but interesting. There are a lot of training and development opportunities. There are also a lot of networking events via which interns could get very good insights of the company. One can develop one's career at ExxonMobil, not just to get a job.

Cons

Like all big companies, there are restrictions with installation of software. Sometimes one has to wait for long to get installation request approved.
