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.

Pros

Good opportunities for networking and travel.

Cons

A significant HR issue between interns occurred during my internship and was handled very poorly. Once the matter came to HR’s and leadership’s attention, it was not officially resolved until months after the internship had ended. The VP privately apologized for the situation, but the overall response was inadequate and felt as though the situation was being swept under the rug. The lack of timely communication and follow-up created a very uncomfortable environment for a young intern and significantly impacted what was otherwise a positive internship experience.
