Pros

Good pay, great benefits, some genius people work there. EMIT is a nightmare, but in other departments I had friends have quite positive experiences.

Cons

I would never recommend any of my computer science minded friends to work here. The work received was fun and challenging, but the management structure at XOM is atrocious. I definitely left work unhappy more than I did happy, and my friends in the company were basically the only reason I made it as long as I did. Management is largely untechnical... yet hold a lot of your technical career in their hands. Management is also full of extremely unfriendly and unmotivated individuals, many just care about climbing the corporate ladder. The job roles you are given probably won't line up with your skill set or your desired skill set.

Pros

Good pay and a pension

Cons

Everything else. Benefits are lackluster, Flex Your Day policies are elusive. The company changes everything all the time so that a large portion of your time is spent finding new links to things on the portal, figuring out who to contact in various departments and in what country just to get a simple answer to a question. No one stays in the same role long enough to get good at their job. Morale is terrible.
