Disappointed and Disillusioned – Not What I Expected from a Reputed Company - Anonymous employee bp Employee Review

Lack of Direction: There’s no clear job description or roadmap. Even after months of forming a new team, leadership is confused, and the team lacks purpose and collaboration. Everyone’s playing it safe, and inter-team dynamics are driven more by fear of redundancy than actual work goals. High Turnover and Zero Transparency: The company is simultaneously making people redundant while aggressively hiring. Even those working directly on transition projects are in the dark. Leadership doesn’t share real information, and even team leads seem clueless about team plans. Double Standards in Flexibility: The company proudly advertises flexibility and hybrid work, but in reality, it's selective. If you’re unwell and request WFH, you’re asked for doctor’s letters. Meanwhile, leads can work remotely for festivals with no questions asked. The flexibility is conditional and inconsistent. Lack of Empathy: There’s very little human touch in the leadership. Even in difficult personal situations like a family bereavement, you’re reminded of pending tasks as soon as you return. If you speak up or suggest an idea, expect sarcasm, not support. Toxic Leadership Culture: Promotions are not performance-based. They depend on how well you conform and stay quiet. Leadership often feels like a circus act, where only the obedient performers are rewarded. Independent thought or differing opinions are unwelcome. Absurd Exit Expectations: Even on the last day, after surrendering the company laptop, you're still expected to attend meetings. With what exactly are we supposed to join? What's the point of these meetings for a leaver, especially when they provide no value or relevance to someone who is exiting the organization?
