Pros

excellent salary and benefits some truly knowledgable experts to work with state of art technology

Cons

only 5 options (time frame based) on 401K direction Utter and appalling disrespect by management towards employees has led to discouragement and low morale. Management is by quarter; this means necessary long-term expenditures (read maintenance, inspection, etc.) may be deferred. Focus on personal safety with ignorance about process safety Wonderful, people-oriented American managers have been replaced with uncaring Brits Do not seek employment here if you are female or a minority - you will not receive respect or opportunities Say no and you will be asked to leave; it is viewed as disrespecting authority; even politically correct questioning may lead to consequences

Pros

world recognized brand ability to travel worldwide good package (pension, allowances) good opportunity for engineers to transfer into commercial role pretty stable

Cons

lower pay compared to bank/consulting commercial function is dominated by engineers and geologists too much pressure on HSE which ends up in formality sometimes waffling is appreciated and silent-runners are overlooked, but that is probably is typical for all corporations

Pros

Good pay and benefits if you are a permanant member of staff, free lunch for example and nice office environment to work in.

Cons

Could be quite a dull place to be at times, whether this is because of the surrounds or the people I am not sure but the days at BP seem to drag like no other place I have worked!
