      Pros

      BP, like many oil majors, has a very generous compensation and benefits package. Salaries are very high compared to service companies, with bonuses when commodity prices are high. Office physical environment is very nice (Fortune 100), and this large company has a large employee base from which one can learn from.

      Cons

      Politics and lack of career opportunities given current and past legal problems. Internally, the company is fractious and management undisciplined. Specifically, many company rules are followed/voided by simple fiat. Lack of management accountability has led to overemphasis on short-term gains above all else.

      Pros

      Great benefits and reasonable salaries. Worked with some good people over the years and are as close as family. The work environment outside Houston was genuine.

      Cons

      Younger management in key roles with no management or people experience. BP used to be a mature company with great values but has given way to inexperience and management tactics that now discourage speaking up and sharing concerns. If you're not in agreement with management, you're potentially a target for termination. Strongly considering my future with this company. The falling price of oil has really shown me BP's true colors. Not a pretty sight.
