Pros

They are very understanding when employees need to take time to address personal issues.

Cons

The management seems to be working in a fantasy world no one else can find. They set unobtainable goals and if a goal is close to being reached, they change it to one that can't be reached. Morale is not doing well. This company is full of compulsive starters, but it's hard to find someone that will do the follow-up work.

Pros

Balancing work and life hours is fairly important. But, because BP is based in the UK, we sometimes work on US Holidays (i.e. Labor Day, Indepedence Day). Stress diversity (this can be both good and bad).

Cons

Non-competative salaries; slow-moving with everything; poor internal planning. Because many employees have been there for years and plan to stay until they retire, there's no incentive to go the extra mile. Many of the employees with 20+ years are on the average 50-50 years old. BP seriously needs new, fresh ideas from younger people.
