They talk about having a speak-up culture but you better not if you want to go up the ladder. Tons of politics.
Pros
If you get in where's there's actually a good boss it can be a great company to work for.
Cons
They promote the wrong people. They don't want a true speak-up culture as they might have to look at themselves and realize they don't have a lot of great managers. Talent isn't what gets you promoted. They try to control people by saying "It's not what you do but how you do it". That's BS as this is an oil company and "what we do" keeps things from blowing up and killing people. They promote for behaviors not how you impact the business or how good your delivery is. Management stomps out technical people with great ideas if they don't have the right political views. BP management has forgotten we are running Oilfields not popularity contests. They talk about safety but uninformed management makes poor decisions. Unfortunately this is rampart in this company.
