Pros

The people are great and BP respects a balance between work and life. It's always about people first and production second. I'm proud to work here. I always feel supported by management and my opinions are valued.

Cons

Since BP is divesting it's southern California operations and we don't know who will buy the refinery, times are uncertain. Right now, we are all in a holding pattern. many things will likely change with new ownership, which is expected by the end of 2012.

Pros

Supportive team environment with good learning opportunities and exposure to large-scale projects. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company offers strong brand recognition and career development resources.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to layers of management, and processes sometimes feel overly bureaucratic. Workload and priorities can shift quickly, which may create stress depending on the team.
