Pros

The company is well known - it's the largest publicly traded company in the world. The name carries a lot of weight to other potential employers.

Cons

Company culture is very rigid, it's a good ol' boys network. It never was about what you know, it's about who you know...company is lacking in diversity.

Pros

This is a good stable company that takes time to make the decisions count. Hear so much criticism about oil companies, but I see other companies that are far worse and so much less progressive, yes even compared to ExxonMobil. I can say that I am not proud of the past reputation of the company but the strategy looking forward is what truly counts now. The community partnerships are valuable and get so little recognition. I have to say that there are some truly great things that Exxon is involved in that do not get the recognition it deserves.

Cons

Very easy to get lost in the shuffle of such a large company and you really have to prove your mettle to get advances and promotions due to the competition.

Pros

In my opinion Exxon Mobil deserves this advanced position in all economical reviews (Forbes, CNN Money, Economist...etc). Being the highest net profit after taxes in all industries all over the world for years is not an easy achievement. It's the perfect place to learn and acquire as much knowledge as you could acquire. It has a very powerful system and very efficient guidelines and procedures. Environment in Exxon Mobil is friendly. And most of managers and peers are disciplined and well educated. In Exxon Mobil, the managers empower the employees once they trust them. The management respects the employees and trusts them. Moreover, working in Exxon Mobil provides the employee with kind of prestige and social status. And Finally, Exxon Mobil has the best in class pension plan.

Cons

Exxon Mobil is process oriented rather than people oriented. Compensation is good but not competitive. Training programs are relatively weak. Recognition and Awarding needs to be improved
