Pros

BP is a global company with international scope. There are opportunities to do many different things. In the last couple of years, the strategy at BP was changed to pursue renewables and move away from Oil. If that is your thing, enjoy.

Cons

BP tends to send many jobs offshore and that trend will continue. They are also moving to automate many processes. Reducing headcount is a strategy at BP. It can often feel heartless and sterile to see people who have devoted many years in service to the company to be quietly laid off. There are many who see a downward trend at BP in terms of future earnings potential given that they intend to move away from Oil. This is a concern for both investors and employees.

Pros

Decent Perks if you work at a main campus. The pay was better than most of its competitors and better than a comparable job in another industry.

Cons

If you are anything but an engineer there is very little growth available in the company. You will be married to the job or business unit you were hired into. Unfortunately the culture became very toxic during the 2015 downturn and layoffs did not consider contributions or performance ratings.
