Pros

Salary and benefits. This is what tempted me from my old job in the first place, they pay you triple the amount of anyone else and pay for lunch and transportation and phones etc so that all you have to do is pocket your salary at the end of the month.

Cons

The staff and the politics are shocking to say the least. The issues of race and stress increases infinitely the lower down the hierarchy you are. I was on call 24 hours a day and if we had colleagues that came from abroad and got drunk, they would call me at 1 am just to call them a cab and they were at a hotel so this was redundant. When they wanted to let me go they were so unprofessional. For weeks before that they had meetings with recruitment companies and told me about it. They had meetings about me without me. When we finally had the talk I just said ok and how long is my notice etc, my boss actually asked me if I understood what was going on? The timing of the question was odd.

Pros

The culture was one that pushed for excellence and innovation. BP management listened to us Senior staff members and let us do whatever we needed and however we wanted if we could show it would reduce risk and/or lower operational cost. They insisted we maintain a good work life balance so if we had to pull long weekends or evenings as DBAs often do they insisted on giving us comp time on other days. I never once worked more than 80 hours during a 2 week period in my 30 months there. They let us bring on staff in India who could do most work during off hours for us which helped the work life balance even more. Pay was very good.

Cons

The only real con was suffering from fallout of the Gulf Oil Spill. The reason I'm not there now is budget cuts due to having to pay for that. This was tied as the best place I've ever worked and I'd gladly go back to that team again if the compensation package was similar to last time.
