      Pros

      Schedule flexibility, open envirnment, williness to share new ideas.

      Cons

      Bureaucratic methods to get those new ideas in place, too many discussions and not enough action. Mirred in 'old school' operations beliefs from those who have been with the company since the amoco/ Sohio days, and believe their way is still the best way. Multiple reorganizations, about every two years. Not enough consistency in leadership staying around for mopre than a couple years in role.

      not a great experience

      Pros

      BP is a well-known company and it is a good name on CV. If you want to work in the oil industry, it might not be a bad place to start. However, unless you are a native-born English, chances for promotion are minimal. Hence, careerwise, it is not an employer of choice.

      Cons

      the turnover was high and it was a perfect reflection of the job satisfaction that employees had there - just a little over 0. Pay was low, promotion was impossible, the environment was very political. there was very little empowerment on the side of management. the only advantage would be the central location of the office in Moscow.

      If you want to be in oil & gas, be a BP employee and an Exxon shareholder

      Pros

      The corporate culture tends to be entrepreneurial, flexible and creative. Its up to the individual to create opportunities and benefit from them - you need to be driven to progress. Also the company is very diverse and tends to be a flat organisation.

      Cons

      The downside of this culture is the lack of structure and constant change, that can be annoying when trying to think about your future career. It feels like your career is not in your control but in whatever management wants do do with you and your career.
