Pros

Professional and friendly colleagues; good benefits; good ethics. Interesting work.

Cons

Overly complicated structure and things keep changing all the time. The Functional model embedded in E&P since Macondo has led to BP having more people post Macondo than pre Macondo and that is after asset divestitures. BP is therefore having to cut double hard with low oil prices. But meeting financial targets is not getting the share price up. Plus people find it hard to concentrate on safety and their jobs with all these cuts, uncertainty and change. If you aren't a Brit will now be hard to get a senior position due to limitations on expats.

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.
