Pros

bp has an employee-first mindset: work-life balance is great, benefits are fantastic, and people are kind. The company has a progressive mindset - bp wants to push for a clean future. Employees have the ability to work many different jobs under the "bp" brand all around the world.

Cons

The company is plagued by bureaucracy and politics. Decision making is complicated, and change can be slow (it will be interesting to see if the company can achieve its ambitious "net zero" goals by 2030). Managers often give vague performance feedback and career growth can be slow.

Pros

bp is the kind of job that's perfect if you have other priorities such as children or hobbies that take precedence over your career. It provides the time and space for that and comes with pay and benefits that are great for your career level.

Cons

Moving up is highly political, which creates a bit of a toxic environment. Relationships mean more than competence which results in questionable decision making which can make your life miserable as an employee. If you're early in your career and are focused on learning & development as well as career trajectory, I would go elsewhere.
