      Five Core Values are Truthfully Only Two

      Pros

      Some pros of working at BP are Friendly co-workers, diversity, equity, and inclusion. The 9/80 schedule allowed a weekday off, which helped me accomplish some things.

      Cons

      bp has five core values, but in practice, it upholds two: safety and excellence. The others (respect, courage, and one team) are talked about but not necessarily displayed daily. Respect could be restated as "respect of persons" because only a select few because of the political environment inside of bp. Employees are constantly told to have courage and speak up, but it needs to be supported and responded to better. One team sounds lovely, but since the environment is political, it turns into every person for themselves so they can get recognized and promoted.

      Pros

      Breadth of experience can be gained early in your career. Work with very smart people. Gender diversity is very much embraced

      Cons

      Upward mobility get more and more limited as you progress, unless you are willing to live in UK. This would mean going on UK employment terms which will be quite a lot less. Company becoming increasingly more British - they don’t like American workers. Strangely though they don’t have any problems taking the money generated in America. Go figure. If you are not white/ Caucasian - forget about it. You have almost zero chances of being senior in bp. Only a chosen few minorities are given the opportunity to progress. Mainly for the cosmetics. The vast vast majority of other minorities will languish. BP does not care about ethnic diversity- starting from the main BP board, to the CEO, and down to other executives.

      Do not accept a job for BPX Energy unless you want no work/life balance

      Pros

      They're an oil and gas company in Denver which is rare these days.

      Cons

      BPX Energy is horrible to work for. Expect to work stupid hours with no respect for a work/life balance. Then, after you given them so much time, expect them to give everyone the same bonus - regardless of performance. They have an amazing, talented group of employees and they treat them mediocre at best. There is no recognition from leadership that their team excels. Leadership listens but does nothing to help the concerns of employees. They say they care but don't. Only work here if you're desperate for a job.
