      Pros

      Global company; many divisions in many countries. Flexible working hours. Good compensation and benefits. Global exploration and production portfolio

      Cons

      Value style over substance; engineers are second class citizens; managers are completely political. All training has been cut. too few people; too much work. Expertise is in short supply and not valued. Everyone is running scared and playing cover their rear ends. too political................Say the wrong thing and you are out of the company

      Pros

      A person early in their career may do well to exploit BP's passion for hiring them as relatively cheap labor. They could jump ship in a few or if they want to be a bureaucrat they could be happy staying. There can be work-life balance in some areas, and there are a few pockets of interesting work.

      Cons

      It is uninspiring and bureaucratic. Good things happen reluctantly. There is no investment, growth or innovation in people or processes. Impossible for serious people to reach their potential. Hollow rhetoric abounds. There was a widely held internal opinion that no company was more excellent than BP and amazingly managers are still acting like they believe that.
