Pros

BP is a well-known company and it is a good name on CV. If you want to work in the oil industry, it might not be a bad place to start. However, unless you are a native-born English, chances for promotion are minimal. Hence, careerwise, it is not an employer of choice.

Cons

the turnover was high and it was a perfect reflection of the job satisfaction that employees had there - just a little over 0. Pay was low, promotion was impossible, the environment was very political. there was very little empowerment on the side of management. the only advantage would be the central location of the office in Moscow.

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.
