      Pros

      This company has awesome benefits: 7% match t 401k and 7% profit sharing contribution to a pension plan. After 50, you start accumulating health insurance benefits for retirement.

      Cons

      This company has too many mid-level managers. Everything decision or action takes 3 meetings. There are managers, directors and VP's that have managers or team leads just to go to meetings. The ethics and management approach to Macondo Well disaster is indicative of how this company runs day to day. This company always operates in the grey area of ethics. The attitude is not what is right, but what can we get away with and what will it cost if we get caught. Most of the top talent leaves after vesting because of the toxic atmosphere. This is a company living in the old world of cronyism. It is not what you know, but who you know.

      Pros

      Excellent pay and benefits, compressed working week, reasonably relaxed working environment with good camaraderie between colleagues.

      Cons

      Morale is currently very low. Most people appear to be staying only because the pay is so good and opportunities in the oil industry scarce at the moment. Opportunities for advancement very scarce and promotions process appears to be entirely arbitrary - no clarity or guidance from management on career progression. Very old fashioned company - currently focused on modernizing but held back by an aging, mostly British management.

      Good Benefits but Poor Culture and Cash Flow

      Pros

      Salaries are at parity with the market. Benefits are some of the best, but for how much longer?

      Cons

      Since the Horizon disaster, I have not met anyone who now likes working for BP. Headcount cuts are too deep. Significant brain drain. The happiest employees seem to be the ones getting severance packages. Company continues to bleed cash at unsustainable levels. Drastic headcount, cost, and asset reductions while competitors are growing. Consensus culture inhibits qualified decision-making. Experts not listened to. Tons of processes that are rarely followed, especially HSE and quality. (Most is just market-facing window dressing developed by consultants.) Changing the portfolio strategy to ultra-deep water is a very long term and highly risky decision. It may make the traders happy for a while, but if the ROI is not big or fast enough, it's not a horse to bet on. Job positions are safer in Europe than in North America. Lots of talk of all or part of North America being sold, bankrupted, or shut down.
