Some good things and some less than good things.

Pros

This is a true global organization. Everyday, you would tell that the culture reflects the diversity of its workforce. There are some really smart people here. Also, the focus on safety and doing things the right way is a testament to the organizational learning after the Gulf of Mexico incident.

Cons

It's surprising that they don't do a better job managing people. There are more average employees than you would expect at a company of this calibre. I could never tell if it was because certain managers/leaders ignored it, had no way of seeing it clearly, or were themselves mediocre. The end result was that there were employees who thought they were much better than they really were.

Indirect Procurement

Business Outlook

Pros

Great to have on your resume (the fact that BP still attracts attention) Flex-work schedule Laid-back environment Some cool people to work with

Cons

Very dysfunctional departments (Indirect Procurement is one of them) You have to eat, sleep, and breathe "company values" that do not ring true in all areas No structure or proper guidance from managers Very obvious "blamers" when something happens Use emails for weapons or to simply throw you under the bus, be careful what you say to certain people, they look for opps to discredit you
