Pros

Was a great company previously. Great colleagues and some great work.

Cons

Recent reorganisation was poorly managed. They have shafted long serving employees by changing the final salary pension - if they had been truthful during the reorganisation I would have left. HR is incompetent and do not answer questions straight - they hid behind rules and live in the HR bubble. The new share options given to grade Fs and above continues to line the coffers of snr leaders. Grade G get pitiful amounts in comparison. Once upon a time BP had great benefits they are now average.

Pros

Benefits are better than most companies - great matching, HSA, pensions, and bonuses. The culture was great too, middle management was a pleasure to work with.

Cons

It’s easy to get stuck in one position if you’re a high performer. Seemed like if you’re good at your job you get stuck there while others get a lot more mobility. The options I had to move were all within the same sphere, great if you like what you are currently doing but not so much otherwise. Also, expect a re-org every 2-3yrs, change can be good but it was often disruptive during my tenure.
