bp Commodity Risk Analyst reviews

You need to network or politics can keep you from moving up. Lack of communication falls on employee if you're not active and aggressive. If you are too aggressive, being proactive, that too can work against you.

It's very team dependent. You can love one team, and dislike the next. Your manager really makes or breaks your experience. As with any large company it is very political and hard to get things done in a timely manner as it has to go through many different departments to get approval. A lot of the older people at the company are just completely content working 8-4 with a decent salary and good benefits and have zero sense of urgency to get anything done, so as a younger professional trying to make a name for yourself that can be extremely frustrating. No semblance of a "culture" whatsoever, even though you can tell management has tried very hard to get that after the oil spill.
