      Working at BP

      Pros

      It's an unusual corporate environment where you have the security of working for a big company (and having the benefits that come with that) and the entrepreneurial space that you get from working in a startup. They're not afraid to try new things and challenge the status quo which is more than I can say for MANY other fortune 500 companies.

      Cons

      As with any company, there's a lot of red tape. When you want to get a project moving, it's sometimes board after board to get approval, and by the time you finally do, the project isn't really viable anymore.

      Unfortunate experience with a company that I wanted to retire with; a big mistake that would have been.

      Pros

      As a consultant, it was a very easy and enjoyable position. I was initially an IBM/pWc Consultant, later BP insourced all of the consultants in their job capacities + 50% more duties.

      Cons

      The workload was extremely heavy and BP management simply did not listen and infact, they rebutted that it was not too much, more over we where labeled inefficient.

      Pros

      Great flexibility and opportunities to expand your career path. Compensation appears fair to date. Some other SPU's and BU's are moving ahead well!

      Cons

      Unfortunately, the performance unit (ILS) I am in now has been "right-sizing" (as it should) for the last few years and continues to do so. Like the direction we are going, but taking too much time to get there. The pain in doing it slow is killing morale. Also, sales incentive pay plan changes in recent years have been ill-advised and created big problems. Historic poor leadership at PU level has created a big whole to climb out of.
