Pros

Many employees begin working for BP right out of college or graduate school and remain with BP for their entire career.

Cons

The business is contracting right now. It is a reflection of the economic climate.

Pros

BP has some great strategic thinkers who will keep the business a competitive supermajor for a long time. In general, it makes good decisions on a global scale, and has some of the best technology in the industry. It allows for flexible work hours and it truly does try to provide for a balance between personal and work life.

Cons

There are the management elites, and then there are the grunts. Shoving long-time employees into cubicles where there is not enough space to effectively work was just plain stupid. The company spends a huge amount of effort on "Diversity and Inclusion", which is fine if you think the work environment has anything to do with "coming out of the closet", but everybody except the white male is celebrated. It gets old.

Pros

Location is nice. You have London at hand, and a good environment with your peers. There is a lot of young people bringing nice envirnment.

Cons

Paperwork is too complicated. Sometimes you get sunk under the burocracy. There is a lot of secrecy and politics concerning communications with managers and directors.
