Pros

Large company Good retirement benefit Recent years try to increase number of female in leadership roles. Lavish spending on office equipments and ergonomic analysis.

Cons

Company has local rules governed by local HR.. Very unclear and poor local HR. No definite rules/handbook to follow. 1800 HR (BPpeople) support line is useless. Relative expensive healthcare plan and very few PTO days for industry standard. Managers do not care about employees' feedback. Poor mid and upper level management on local site. Spend excessive amount of time on trainings regarding BP core values. Encourage "open doors" culture but not true at all.... Tolerate employees with poor performance and do not reward high performance employees. Do not fairly promote employees. Difficult to climb up career ladder until move around to various BP locations worldwide.

Pros

Supportive team environment with good learning opportunities and exposure to large-scale projects. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company offers strong brand recognition and career development resources.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to layers of management, and processes sometimes feel overly bureaucratic. Workload and priorities can shift quickly, which may create stress depending on the team.
