Pros

Many interesting opportunities due to shifting teams and consistently changing organization. Lot's of opportunity for inexperienced people.

Cons

If there was ever a perfect example of one hand not knowing what the other was doing, it's BP. Inexperienced middle managers missing the mark to make things work together with cross functional teams. Many titles and job descriptions of middle managers are made up on LinkedIn. It's indicative of the work environment.

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.
