Pros

The salary is above average in the same industry. Training and guidelines is provided, support system is good.

Cons

There are annual review cycle that is very competitive, the low performer will get PIP or separation scheme. Do not expect work life balance in XOM as the schedule is very demanding, we need to work day (9am- 5pm) in the KL office and night (8pm - 12am) to support America/Canada region from home. Basically we will be working at least 10-12 hours a day but there are no OT obviously. The medical benefit also can be better especially for the dependants.

Pros

Very good engineering company with brilliant coworkers, Amazing salary and benefits, pension and generous 401K. I retired at 58 yo with an amazing pension package that put me in the top 3% of US retirees.

Cons

Job satisfaction in an abstract concept. Job employment security is nonexistent and the employee performance system is highly subjective. I had a very succesful career for 34 years, but recognize that it is a toxic environment and the company is not just for anyone. It requires a high tolerance for abuse, daily grind and long hours.
