Pros

BP hires some of the best minds in their particular field and it shows. There are great benefits that come from working with any supermajor such as a nice gym, discounts, and 401k plans. BP has 9/80 weeks so you get every other friday off which really helps with work/life balance. Many of the employees are over 45, so there will be lots of opportunities for younger employees.

Cons

Typical cons of working for any large corporation: performance driven culture, change takes forever yet constantly occurs, hard to not work while on long vacations, etc. Engineers and geologists are put on a pedestal, so sometimes other functions feel like they are less important.

Pros

New state of the art trade floor with all latest and greatest technologies. Large market presence with a wide variety of jobs available.

Cons

Uncertainity due to the potential impact of the oil spill. A large re-orginaization is in the works with little communication to the employees of what it will entail.
