Pros

Benefits and compensation above average in the marketplace For technical functions, there's room to grow and learn. Best place to be is Houston, TX, as the company is shifting its corporate presence there.

Cons

No work-life balance Constant reorganization and change The only division that is respected is Exploration and Production. If you're in one of the other divisions, you work in daily fear of downsizing and divestment.

BP is a large fraternity house

Pros

Interesting industry and a company with plenty of brain power

Cons

For those who come to BP right out of school, there is better opportunity and mentorship provided, but for those who come to BP as experienced hires, it is very difficult to develop a professional career. It is difficult to move up, it is difficult to receive training and mentorship, it is difficult to receive recognition for good work and years of relevant experience. It is also difficult to break into the fraternity. The social structure is very much like that of a fraternity house.
