Pros

Good communication, outwardly friendly, leadership is approachable,

Cons

Nepotistic, London-based leadership places too much value on their own intelligence. All good ideas come from London. Length of service, politics and speaking well of BP are most highly valued. Delivery is not valued.

Pros

Great gyms, restaurants, common areas, gardens. They really splurged on the non-work element of the job.

Cons

After the Macondo disaster, they decided to hire a lot of very qualified people to fix their supplier contract problems, Supplier quality, on-time delivery, improving KPIs and other metrics of performance, etc. It was all a huge facade. At the end of the day, they ground down these highly qualified new hires with red-tape, bureaucracy, and the worst inefficiency. All they really wanted was to look good if they were audited. Not to really fix any of the structural problems that caused the Gulf of Mexico catastrophe to begin with. A lot of copy-and-paste in Excel. a lot of BS KPIs, when category managers have no access to on-time-delivery or to Quality from suppliers. They don't even approve a trip to Lousiana from Houston, for god sakes! If you want to be well paid and look the other way, this is the place for you. If you rock the boat, they will make your life a living hell and drive you out.

Good and Bad

Pros

Good pay, benefits, and for those looking for a place to hide and not have to do much to earn those benefits there are a reasonable number of places where this can happen.

Cons

Too many people killing themselves to deliver while too many are skating by barely working, even at the executive level. Feast or famine in terms of expectations and deliverables, how they are communicated, expected, or supported.
