Pros

Good compensation, excellent leadership opportunities, and excellent opportunities for international travel. I have found my work very interesting and worthwhile. Additionally the current demographics of the company give alot of future opportunities for advancement. I am excited to working at ExxonMobil and the career possibilities it will give me.

Cons

Work life balance isn't the best, but ExxonMobil is full of smart people who keep pushing the limits on how much they can they can achieve. Compared to my peers I work more hours then them but I am also paid quite a bit more then them. ExxonMobil is a conservative, risk adverse company that doesn't move very quickly but also won't be laying anyone off any time soon either. Down or up this company will be constant and look long term.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people, fantastic compensation. The group I worked with were very helpful, intelligent and fun. Overall I spent a great deal of time learning the corporate culture and studying the Oil and Gas field. After I had completed this start-up phase, I found the work very rewarding. I enjoyed my team very much as they were competent and reliable.

Cons

Large company means a great deal of corporate structure to work with. Takes some time to get up to speed and this may be disconcerting at first, but over time your production will normalize and the experience becomes much more pleasurable. The company is committed to employee development and they offer tuition reimbursement and extensive training throughout your career.

Good place to work if you are ranked well and don't mind a lack of a work/life balance.

Pros

Excellent salaries, able to work with very intelligent coworkers, opportunities for travel and multiple career paths, great opportunities and compensation if you rank highly compared to your peers.

Cons

Personnel system is abysmal. The company uses a very archaic method of evaluating employee performance based upon intangible parameters. Too much responsibility and power for shaping employees' career paths is given to management, with too little communication with employees as to where they see themselves moving in the company. An HR representative told me that 50% of new hires in the company leave within their first 5 years. Also, management is often more concerned with short-term goals and their own performance rankings rather than providing leadership and support to their subordinates or thinking about the future of the company.
