Pros

Met really talented and qualified people. Salary and benefits were competitive, but generally ok.

Cons

Since the petroleum shale acquisition in 2011/12, several management changes and the addition of several bureaucratic organizational layers led to a decline in meaningful communication across the board and generated a growing toxic culture. Most employees struggled to advance their careers due to the lack of development opportunities. The toxic culture created by some folks in leadership roles suppressed many talented individuals from fulfilling their full potential. BHP (from the lens of Petroleum) is a process driven company plagued by the desire to have too many meetings, mostly with no specific agendas. A company with talented executives who have struggled in the last few years to compose an effective and homogenous executive team that can inspire people.

Pros

Great benefits, facilities & work ethics

Cons

The onshore Petroleum sector was mismanaged. Too much red tape, paperwork and lack of responsibility caused a drop in employee morale and performance. The large acquisitions made by management in the North American shale were over priced and operating costs were over the roof but the big dogs always beat their chest over small pseudo victories that did never reflect on the bottomline. BHP went from being the 3rd richest company (in cash) to somewhere beyond top 50 in just a matter of few years. Disappointing!
