Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is lots better then before, matching 7 percent in the 401 is a great benefit. The work is less wear and tear on my body then before.

Cons

No promotional opportunity, you can have a degree, supervisory background and still not know about a job opportunity until after they have promoted someone else.

Individual Contributor Model vs. Team Model

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.
