Pros

BP is a global company. If you are moble, you many opportunities around the world. BP has a good compensation program.

Cons

A lot of red tape to get anything done. The company is very risk adverse after Texas City disaster. They do not do a good job at developing there people. Advancement is very tied to networking and who you know.

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.
