Business Outlook
Pros
Balancing work and life hours is fairly important. But, because BP is based in the UK, we sometimes work on US Holidays (i.e. Labor Day, Indepedence Day). Stress diversity (this can be both good and bad).
Cons
Non-competative salaries; slow-moving with everything; poor internal planning. Because many employees have been there for years and plan to stay until they retire, there's no incentive to go the extra mile. Many of the employees with 20+ years are on the average 50-50 years old. BP seriously needs new, fresh ideas from younger people.
