Pros

Opportunities for seastaff to come ashore and into the wider group. Seastaff have a good chance of completing a tour of duty in the same or a better state than before - not the same elsewhere. Emphasis on safety is strongly led at the opertional unit level (on the ships!).

Cons

Not much emphasis on paper being ok - not operations! Old priority was safe transportation of hydrocarbons and reducing risk to bp as a whole - now it's about maximising profit and cutting costs. Sometimes it seems that QA applies to the ships - not to the office. This may mean open communication is reduced.

Pros

Supportive team environment with good learning opportunities and exposure to large-scale projects. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company offers strong brand recognition and career development resources.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to layers of management, and processes sometimes feel overly bureaucratic. Workload and priorities can shift quickly, which may create stress depending on the team.
