Pros

Pay and benefits. There's also a good history of innovation and a reputation for excellence that -- if the company can regain it -- will serve employees well.

Cons

Current shaky financial status, including perception on the Street, despite an environment that's very favorable to oil companies. Another downside for American employees is the growing emphasis on London leadership at the expense of a strong U.S. management presence. At the same time this is happening, the company is shutting down (for financial reasons) opportunities for U.S. leaders to take expat assignments in London.

Pros

BP previously provided excellent opportunities for international mobility. The downside was that there was no clear strategy for how to manage expats.

Cons

The lack of leadership at BP is evident over the past few years. An organization that once prided itself on being "progressive" has allowed itself to become stagnant as Senior Management shows more concern for staying in their post and less driving a strategy that once made BP the pride of the energy sector.

Pros

A huge company with global prescence, a nice working enviroment where you can quickly find your comfort zone and work your way around the company - doing lots of meaningless jobs with fancy job titles. Still a few expat roles out there, where the money and benefits are excellent.

Cons

Small fish in a big pond - very uncommercial management team, constant change, underperforming, low pay, rapidly reducing total reward package (just got rid of c-days etc) At the moment they are on a real cost-cutting process, which has dramtically reduced the amount of international travel opportuninties. Senior management have been around to long and lost touch with the quickly changing oil&gas environment
