      The good, the bad and the bureaucratic

      Process engineer
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good early development opportunities and training. Very bright and interesting people. There are parts of the organisation which are very well led. There is a real opportunity to take advantage of the current market conditions to become leaner and fitter.

      Cons

      Very bureaucratic and slow moving so it makes it difficult to get things done in such a conservative culture. There seems to be an air of head in the sand amongst many people - maybe it's a result of too much change, too many times.

      Good company but to wedded to tradition to become a great company

      Petroleum engineer
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      BP has a very good training program and encourage training throughout ones career. The IT system is well done, while it can be slow, it is reliable and well supported. The biggest strength of BP is excellent people to work with; they do a good job getting good people and training them on a technical level. There is also a tendency to move people every to different groups every 2 or 3 years (this is not a relocation but a change of groups locally). I like this, but other people may not. There is also a lot of flexibility of work schedule and good work-family balance.

      Cons

      The main problem with BP is that it is a large,slow, and tradition bound company. There are processes in place for everything from drilling a multi-million dollar well to putting toilet paper on the dispenser. Failure to flow results in chastisement from above. If the processes says jump off a cliff, you are expected to do so. It is also nearly impossible to make change happen even if you are at a high management level. In mid 2008 there was an initiative to simplify the processes we follow. Unfortunately the simplification process is so complex it has yet to be implemented.

      BP - Big Potential (Let's not blow it)

      Senior engineer
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fair and balanced company with reasonable work/liffe balance policies and fair compensation

      Cons

      BP tends to over-promote minorities and women without consideration of the negative business impacts from having managers in jobs that are bigger than their ability and real ambition
