Pros

Good pay and benefits Work life balance is pretty decent depending on business unit/role Competitive work environment Industry leader despite pr

Cons

- the above Pro's relies heavily on what business unit you're in. IST/FVC/USPL are all embedded businesses where pay, 401k, tuition reimbursement GREATLY exceeds those at the "GBS". - every 2-3 years expect a re-org in your department w/ severance packages/layoffs - career progress can be really hit or miss ~ pretty easy to advance within department/function, branching out to different businesses or functions is a different story.

Pros

Great pay, benefits, and opportunities for development. The people I worked with were professional and valued my thoughts and opinions. Overall BP has a very good culture.

Cons

Some of BP's processes in their downstream segment are inefficient and can be frustrating, particularly their projects.

Pros

Salary and benefits were OK for me.

Cons

Culture of fear, unable to really speak your mind or challenge the status quo - must toe the party line or say goodbye to any ideas of career progression. Managers are not leaders and have no vision or desire to change / improve ways of working. Values would be great but managers do not live them! Roles and responsibilities unclear, resulting in individuals duplicating / omitting tasks and conflict between team members. Organisation is overly complex - much simplification and cost cutting (getting rid of 'dead wood') could be made, but won't happen due to above points. Empire building and old boys network thrive, not many women here and if your face doesn't fit, you won't progress. Office is a zombie zone - nobody talks to each other. This is the most hostile, unfriendly work place I've ever encountered.
