Pros

Great benefits. They take very good care of their employees. Able to achieve good work/life balance. Challenging environment with promise for future growth.

Cons

Limited upward potential and at times even lateral movement within the company. Very hierarchical and I often felt restricted due to bureaucracy and middle management's personal agendas. Lots of favoritism.

Pros

The benefits are great. The salaries are competitive. The company is open and accepting of diverse individuals. I also like the flexible schedule, including 9/80.

Cons

The company's reputation is an obstacle to overcome. I don't think the advancement opportunities are very good for minority candidates.

Pros

BP allows for its interns to take part in projects that have a large impact to the company's performance. They allow for travel, training, and networking with suppliers. The expirience i have gained working at BP is the best experience I could have ever gotten. I truly know what it is like to be a full time employee working at BP.

Cons

As an intern I worked on a very large project. My only issue was that the size and scope was too large to move very fast. I only had 3 months to work on the project and while I gain amazing experience, I wish I could have stayed for some kind of results. The other issue is that your project will vary based on where you were placed. I know my project was amazing but there are others that were not as exciting.
