Pros

Good benefits, gym at the campus, knowledgeable employees, work-life balance. They treat their employees with dignity and respect especially during restructuring.

Cons

Some employees can back-stabbed you especially when they feel that you know more than then and their lack of knowledge might be exposed. Some employees take credit for your work behind you. Their ranking system might need some improvement as it is not very fair as it sometimes has to do with your boss liking you even though you are not an exceptional employee, you might end up getting a very high ranking.

Pros

Only pro is if you are a cut throat middle aged white male with no family, kids or pets, etc.

Cons

No gender or race equality. No work life balance. Overworked and underpaid. Lots of manipulation, tattletales, and throwing others under the bus.

Pros

Pretty flexible with working hours

Cons

I had over 12 Line Managers within my 8 years with BP - Lots of turnover and re-organizing With each new Line Manager, I had to reprove myself which made it very difficult to move up in the company. I had 3 Line Managers that lied on my yearly Performance views stating that I missed key milestone dates on my projects but when asked what dates I missed, they couldn't name any. I reported them to HR with little to no response. If you are a woman or other minority, then you are more likely to advance in the company. During 2015, when BP was cutting over 20% of their people, I over heard HR telling someone on the phone that they could NOT let any women go. You must watch your back while working at BP because the managers will throw you under the bus. Important note: I wasn't laid off by BP. I left on my own and I'm actually found a company that respects their employees. There are much better companies than BP to work for.
