      Pros

      In the oil and gas industry you receive better pay than many opportunities which is also the case at BP. There are still a number of quality people to work with at BP.

      Cons

      Management is by and large incompetent (starting at the very top and trickling down to those who have to interact with the lowly plebes who actually do work) and reached their lofty positions by delivering good sales pitches as opposed to producing quality results, showing sound leadership, and having any form of business acumen. This is taken out on individual contributors who suffer the consequences of the downturn. Individual contributors who achieve and those who are recognized for achievement are not significantly overlapping in a Venn Diagram.

      Pros

      Benefits are better than most companies - great matching, HSA, pensions, and bonuses. The culture was great too, middle management was a pleasure to work with.

      Cons

      It’s easy to get stuck in one position if you’re a high performer. Seemed like if you’re good at your job you get stuck there while others get a lot more mobility. The options I had to move were all within the same sphere, great if you like what you are currently doing but not so much otherwise. Also, expect a re-org every 2-3yrs, change can be good but it was often disruptive during my tenure.
