What a disappointment

Pros

Flexibility of working from home

Cons

The company was not what it said it was. They promised Fridays off in the summer, an annual “think tank” gathering in person, zoom-free days, a “bold adventure” bonus, and other things that have all been taken away since I came on a year ago.

Pros

Working at BP is amazing! Although it’s remote, they do tons of fun company bonding activities. Great pay and they work with you on your schedule as well

Cons

Talking on the phone all day becomes repetitive but honestly no real cons since it’s work from home

Pros

Great remote culture. Lots of cool remote events. Good people, leadership isn't bad.

Cons

They tested 4 day work week and said it was going great but have switched back to 5. Semi understandable given the economic outlook currently. There seems to be some growth tension but again, understandable. This year they gave many a ~1% raise
