BHP Petroleum: a strong technical and cultural focus, with high personal flexibility

Business Outlook

Pros

1) High quality technical work is the foundation for all we do at BHP Petroleum 2) The cultural side of the business is just as important. It is not just "what" we do but "how" we do it 3) One great hallmark of the importance of culture at BHP is the high personal flexibility our staff have for working flexibly and remotely, even before COVID-19. We trust our staff to know their priorities and adjust their workplans to attain those

Cons

1) It can be hard for BHP staff to say no. We tend to juggle multiple projects and workstreams when a clearer focus on what is most important would be more efficient
