Pros

Environmentally friendly, work life balance is important to both employees and management. Active Corporate Social Responsible Plan, both globally and locally. Energy is at the forefront of the world's agenda and bp is a major player in creation and development of current and new energy sources.

Cons

Not enough HR power. The group is under funded and staffed and thus lacks the ability to create sustainable employee development programs. This reduces employee happiness and ultimately forces good people to leave for other organizations.

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.
