Pros

The oil business is quite a slow and relaxed culture. They make a lot of money and the work is not too crazy. People are professional and they take care of employees, although the pay could have been better (I worked in wholesale and retail fuels, the less sexy side of the business, i.e. "downstream").

Cons

The pay could have been better. Things took a long time to get done. It was not as exciting in the downstream business.

Pros

Excellent Job Security Excellent Wok life Balance

Cons

Team leaders are too Autocratic. Development opportunities are for people who are favourites of management rather than for the performing individual. Issues are buried within the team without letting escalation to Senior Management Very slow career progress in general Many of the benefits are outdated and not competitive with other operators

Pros

Large company Good retirement benefit Recent years try to increase number of female in leadership roles. Lavish spending on office equipments and ergonomic analysis.

Cons

Company has local rules governed by local HR.. Very unclear and poor local HR. No definite rules/handbook to follow. 1800 HR (BPpeople) support line is useless. Relative expensive healthcare plan and very few PTO days for industry standard. Managers do not care about employees' feedback. Poor mid and upper level management on local site. Spend excessive amount of time on trainings regarding BP core values. Encourage "open doors" culture but not true at all.... Tolerate employees with poor performance and do not reward high performance employees. Do not fairly promote employees. Difficult to climb up career ladder until move around to various BP locations worldwide.
