Business Outlook
Pros
BP employs some very smart people. The culture is laid back with plenty of flexible working arrangements available. There are some great people that try to work common objectives.
Cons
The company is risk adverse. After the Texas City and Gulf disasters, there is no appetite to operate assets due to risk exposure. The downstream business is little more than a shell of what it used to be. The company's downsized structure means there really aren't any opportunities to grow. All downstream businesses are restructuring with substantial layoffs ahead for 2015. The company will most likely divest and exit the downstream business when the dust clears.
