Good, bad and ugly - all in one

Pros

- Good place to start your career in the energy industry. Impressive scope and availability of training courses made available to employees. - If you can find a good mentor, your learning will accelerate. BP has a lot of "old-timers" at the working level (unlikely in higher management) that are walking tomes of knowledge. Many are humble and willing to coach if you have the right attitude. - Many extremely intelligent and highly qualified people at the working level. - Big name, reputation. Always helps at industry events. - Pay is decent for most employees. Decent but not always fair. - Size of company global allows great exposure to many different countries and cultures - Always seeking innovation and new ways of doing things

Cons

- Heavy emphasis on trying new things, show-boating and chasing the "sexy-stuff". So much so that silent running and ensuring a solid foundation is seen to be unimportant. - Hypocritical. Just one example: Employees always encouraged to speak-up but employees who do end up being "council-ed" in the shadows. Environment of fear is inevitably created where people are afraid to speak up against behaviour/policies/ideas/processes that are detrimental to the company. At the same time, constant official promoting of speak-up culture with no decent voice from the employees create a false sense of security/achievement within higher management. - Far too much power granted to managers to handle their subordinates' career, salary and even workload. No check-and-balance in that regard. - Ground staff overworked consistently.
