Pros

Historically had senior managers with both deep knowledge and integrity, that has changed

Cons

Think of a career there as short-term. Take the knowledge you can, and figure out the good processes and take those and then move on. Nepotism trumps talent as well as heavy politics. It's not about who's the most qualified, but who's the most heavily networked. That environment does promote loyalty or long-term interest. Lots of global downsizing attributed to oil prices.

Pros

* Outstanding pay and benefits * 9/80's for those who work in the business * Technical folks are outstanding

Cons

* HR Leadership is very poor * No 9/80's for Corporate HR --- it is enforced by some departments and not others. BP proclaims to be 'inclusive' but this is not an inclusive practice * Takes forever to fire incompetent people
