Pros

The retirement benefits are good, and co-workers are supportive and friendly.

Cons

Upper management wants employees to work hard, and then stay late and work harder. There is little reward for exceeding goals/deadlines. Promotions are based on recommendations from managers and team leads; there are no clear guidelines, and favoritism is evident.

Pros

The company values and culture are essentially the same as many other large corporations. The potential for promotions is high if you're competent. BP takes very good care of their employees.

Cons

From my experience, there were many incompetent people that had an impact on the workplace. Basically, this means that important decisions were made by people that didn't really know what they were doing, but they were in jobs that were responsible for decisions. They would discount advice from true experts because of political maneuvering.
