Pros

Big BP company is a great place to work. Developments and benefits are competitive. Opportunity for growth is great. The people are great to work with and highly technical.

Cons

No cons for the big BP. However for BP L48 (spin off version of BP) is not very good. They brought the mafia from Sandridge with guys that had only a few years of experience taking on management positions that have no idea what they are doing with no technical background. Their only justify their decisions based on what the boss like. This is no difference from hiring a high schooler to run the place.

Pros

Good health benefits with low premiums. 401k matching up to 7%. Salary and bonus compensation is competitive and in line with market. 9-80 schedule is a huge perk. Work life balance is good, but will vary depending on your role. There was a focus on personal career development when oil prices were high, but the focus on that has lightened in the recent oil price environment.

Cons

It can be a frustrating place to work if you care about doing meaningful work and impacting the bottom line. The company is riddled with workflow complexity, tons of process, and indecisive middle management.

Great professional staff and work environment with really good benefits

Cons

Few opportunities to rotate and no changes in management even if they are doing bad. Portfolio is shrinking!
