Pros

Excellent compensation Fantastic people Great work culture BP seeks to "do the right thing" in everything it approaches on a day-to-day basis and in the big picture; EXAMPLE on a grand scale- while the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill was a horrific accident, BP did not run away from it's responsibilities (unlike other companies who have had oil spill accidents) Great opportunities for career growth Global company

Cons

Sometimes the work/life balance can be rough, particularly the higher in the organization you go. It can feel at times that you are expected to be be available via email 24/7.

Go upstream

Pros

Money is good for plant work, medical and benefits are great. Upstream offers a lot more than downstream.

Cons

Engineers are not compensated very well. Long hours, called in on weekends. Take work home. Management does not value employees. No formal training, not many opportunities for mechanical engineers. Compensation is not the same for employees in different departments.
