Pros

Environmentally friendly, work life balance is important to both employees and management. Active Corporate Social Responsible Plan, both globally and locally. Energy is at the forefront of the world's agenda and bp is a major player in creation and development of current and new energy sources.

Cons

Not enough HR power. The group is under funded and staffed and thus lacks the ability to create sustainable employee development programs. This reduces employee happiness and ultimately forces good people to leave for other organizations.

Pros

you can do whatever you want....

Cons

When you are being recruited they paint you great story of how you are going to advance and everything they are gooing to do to help you get there. In reality you are on your own, so the faster you realize that the better you will do!

Pros

Benefits, benefits, benefits. Very generous 401k and pension. BP also offers health club subsidies and a lot of other small benefts. Vacation is average (2 weeks to start, 3 weeks at 5 yrs, 4 weeks at 10 yrs etc.) and they USED to offer a flexible 9/80 work schedule but this is being eliminated as of the first of the year.

Cons

It is an extremely large company and its easy to get lost in the mix. There is also a lot of rotation among the higher ups and most of the higher ups are from overseas, leaving little chance of an American making high up in the company. They also do a poor job of communicating details among the ranks. The "Forward Agenda to 2010" was a giant sham of smoke and mirrors. Senior management will look like a geniuses in a couple years primarily due to market timing. They appear to have done very little to change things and don't do a good job of sharing it if they do.
