      Pros

      -Tons of work opportunities, especially early in your career. Can take some time as a young engineer to find where you fit best and land there. -Culture is great, and the people are as well. -9/80 schedule is great (every other Friday off, working 9 hours per day every other day). Essentially its ~20 days of vacation each year in addition to the vacation package you already have.

      Cons

      -Typical big company cons: slow turnaround for decisions, bureaucracy, etc. -Sometimes the company tends to ride the oil industry roller-coaster more than most. When things are good, they're great, but when something happens (ex. Gulf Spill), things may get prohibitively expensive, hard to do, etc.

      Pros

      BP allows for geographic mobility, if desired.

      Cons

      Otherwise it is who you know and what degree you have.

      Pros

      The company is fast moving, not afraid of challenge or to redefine itself; the company culture is open, conscientious, friendly, meritocratic, with a clear internal promotion mechanism and a strong bias towards performance, safety, operational excellence, and strong technical/engineering skill set. The key to success is willingness to work hard, international mobility, and ability to get along with everyone from peers to senior management and the front line employees.

      Cons

      Often too dependent on individual executive agendas, overly ambitious, tolerating behaviours and practices inconsistent with company values, unable to retain top talent in times of crisis or transition.
