Pros

Global organization with some opportunities to travel (depending on position). You will also be exposed to many facets of the business.

Cons

working long hours. Working in a Global organization, and having to work in virtual environment with phone hook ups can really eat into your personal time. Time differences are killers.

Pros

Exxon is at present a stable company with solid benefits. There are locations in many different areas and if you are willing to move, you will likely get the opportunity to do so. There are opportunities to move between the different business divisions (chemicals, refining, lubes, pipeline, E&P) in order to develop a well rounded employee, however unless you are tagged early as a rising star or top performer, opportunities may be limited. The stock match of 7% for our 6% is a nice perk. If you are extremely aggressive in self marketing or like sucking up, it's a great place to advance.

Cons

Forced rankings mean the suck-ups usually out perform the competent, hard workers. Much of the culture is the holdover from Exxon more so than Mobil. Exxon is a very Engineering lead company and therefore views people as resources rather than assets to be invested in. Supervisors are asked to evaluate their employee's potential when they are first hired in. Depending on your supervisor's first impression, your 30 year career growth potential can be severely stifled by one bad review. There are many supervisors and managers that are victims of the Peter Principle and are now in the level of their incompetence with no opportunity to move any further until they retire.

Mixed feelings, but lots of opportunity for different experiences if you can put up with the red tape

Business Outlook

Pros

Global company with lots of opportunity to learn. Excellent pay and benefits especially for those who perform and are ranked well. Depending on where you work, great opportunity for international experience. Name looks good on a resume.

Cons

Oppressive culture. Ranking system is skewed towards those who are younger and isn't truly relflective of performance and contribution. Senior managers are just that managers, not leaders. Information is shared on a need to know basis. Little regard for employee engagement. Work/life balance issues are pervasive due to global structure of the company. HR function should be role model for the company but yet isn't.
