Pros

Because they move people around so frequently it never feels like you are working with the same people for years. Change is constant and keeps you moving forward. Manager's typically support additional training request and for the most part seem to care about keeping the talent. Pay is good. Safety and Integrity are high priority for all.

Cons

They moved from Fairfax VA to Houston TX and probably lost more talent than they will print. The ranking system seems to favor individuals who are smooth talkers. Employees need to do much more than their base job to get ranked higher. Most managers appeared to work around the clock, even on vacation.

Pros

Safe place to work; you work with very smart people in nearly every organization; able to learn the right way to operate; work-life "effectiveness" is good, but it depends on your supervisor quite a bit, most are considerate of your personal needs

Cons

Ranking system helps some and hurts others; career opportunities are limited if you are not ranked well; not a lot of movement between various companies within the corporation (Refining, Chemicals, Upstream);

Pros

Great pay & benefits - worked close to home and had many good relationships with co-workers.

Cons

The company is overly controlling at the sacrifice of production and accomplishment. No way to advance unless you buy into the sometimes irrational internal policies which are a drag on morale. Most older workers can't wait to retire and be free from all of management's non-sensical policies. As someone who was 2 levels above me once said, "ExxonMobil is like the mafia, it loves its people, but it loves its money more." If you are young and want to retire with a large multi-national company, look elsewhere - you won't be able to last the 20-25 years of life that you'll need to get there. If you are good at being a "yes man" you'll have a decent chance at advancement - Global Services is full of idiots who are obedient.
