Pros

Career advancement opportunities are everywhere. Total compensation is outstanding. In my specialty, work is usually valued, and sometimes even interesting.

Cons

People are moved through different positions too quickly in many cases, which leads to a lack of depth when dealing with others in the company. However, the people in the company seem to be better than average, so that is not always as bad as it would be at some companies. Because of the rapid moves in management, people are not in a position long enough to be held responsible for bad long-term decisions, which has led to short-term management thinking.

Pros

Compensation and benefits are probably the best reasons to work for Exxon. It is a company that takes things in a very process-oriented fashion, slow and steady, and you are encouraged to do your homework before pursuing an idea.

Cons

Beauracracy - too much paperwork, hoops, etc. Maybe this is expected from most big companies, but sometimes it seems that it impedes your ability to work.

Pros

Job stability. EMC is set up with focused investment and growth plans - these dont change regardless of economic uncertainty. In short, the company doesnt over-react. Recruitment today still continues globally. Multi approach for career advancement by exposing individuals to multiple business units and functions throughout the career. One rarely dwells in a job for more than 5 years. Ie. Many ladders to climb, not just the one in your unit.

Cons

The overall remuneration package is deliberately pegged at 50% to a basket of 10 to 12 companies. A known fact, at least in this part of Asia. EMC is good at attracting new hires, but struggles with retaining them.
