      Opportunities to get it right

      Pros

      Opportunities for seastaff to come ashore and into the wider group. Seastaff have a good chance of completing a tour of duty in the same or a better state than before - not the same elsewhere. Emphasis on safety is strongly led at the opertional unit level (on the ships!).

      Cons

      Not much emphasis on paper being ok - not operations! Old priority was safe transportation of hydrocarbons and reducing risk to bp as a whole - now it's about maximising profit and cutting costs. Sometimes it seems that QA applies to the ships - not to the office. This may mean open communication is reduced.

      Progressive, Performance Driven, Innovative and Green? Not so much any more.

      Pros

      BP previously provided excellent opportunities for international mobility. The downside was that there was no clear strategy for how to manage expats.

      Cons

      The lack of leadership at BP is evident over the past few years. An organization that once prided itself on being "progressive" has allowed itself to become stagnant as Senior Management shows more concern for staying in their post and less driving a strategy that once made BP the pride of the energy sector.

      Best place I have worked

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fair pay for a fair job. Good share scheme and excellent pension scheme. Opportunities to move on. Flexible with regard to time off and they place an emphasis on quality training. You dont feel hounded by management all the time and they give you space to do your job effectively. If you can dodge the bullet til retirement day then you will be relatively well off in retirement.

      Cons

      People have to reapply for jobs every few years. Constant specualtion about breaking up R&M and E&P. Share price is a bit low recently (but then thats a problem people without good share schemes dont have I suppose)
