Pros

Great work life balance (9/80), looks great on resume, good experience and training in specific focus areas. Willing to invest in first in class technology and software systems

Cons

Ok salary, confusing promotion process, management pays lip service to modem corporate values however favorites and a** kissers more likely to advance, recent downsizing has made training hard to get.

Great Company....some leaders should not be leaders

Pros

Great place to work, great work life balance, great benefits, good pay. Excellent people, smart, hard working (for the most part).

Cons

Some leaders are promoted through internal politics/favoritism rather than merit. This leads to lots of ups and downs every time a change is done at the helm. Right now, some leaders in a few business units are destroying these business units due to their incompetence and arrogance. Very limited forward view and short sighted strategies.

Pros

The best reason to work at BP is the people. The company is very diverse and has a good development program for its employees.

Cons

The Cons of working at BP is that it is a big company and you can get lost in the numbers. It also is very departmentalized and sometime takes a long time to get something done.
