      Why it sucks to work for BP as an engineer?

      Operations support mechanical engineer/ project engineer
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Chance to get a wide range of experience and to be exposed to all kinds of equipment. Large budget for training during the project phase. Opportunity to build a good business network during your career, to experience different aspects of mechanical engineering while working with contractors, which in turn may help you in finding your perfect next job.

      Cons

      Too much politics. Unfair promotions and very poor senior leadership. Failure to understand the importance of core engineering positions. Double standards between different assets in terms of benefits, salaries, promotions and career opportunities.

      Pros

      The corporate culture tends to be entrepreneurial, flexible and creative. Its up to the individual to create opportunities and benefit from them - you need to be driven to progress. Also the company is very diverse and tends to be a flat organisation.

      Cons

      The downside of this culture is the lack of structure and constant change, that can be annoying when trying to think about your future career. It feels like your career is not in your control but in whatever management wants do do with you and your career.

      Pros

      They let people pursue their outside passions. Individuals can participate in professional organizations if they choose, However, this is not necessary and more often tahn not managament simply pays no attention to those employees that have managed to find their way into relationships that can be influential in state and federal government. There are a number of very competent personnel as individual contributors. These professionals are very willing to share their knowledge and provide mentoring. Mostly though, these folks do their job and go home never pausing to look back as they await a buy-out package or retirement.

      Cons

      One must stay inside the context of one's job, follow orders and let the Brit's run the outfit. You'll survive and collect a paycheck. Upward feedback is an exercise as the overall culture and morale never seems to change much from year to year. Creativity is not necessary; it is expected that one will stick to their knitting and get their work done.
