Pros
Reasonably intelligent peers, have to be to have survived You can take on more work and additional responsibilities any time you want Open networking policy
Cons
They will find a solution that requires no cost, which means talking more about everything and checking and rechecking everything over and over again, and making existing staff do more work. Senior levels get where they are by designing hatchet type restructurings. The old guard didn't do anything well, so everything needs fixing. BP will not invest money in training or technology. All training is by internal employees who are unqualified to do so. They take no chances. The successful manager must: love BP, love meetings, never speak their mind, never disagree, talk a lot of nonsense, stroke superiors, give average reviews and make subordinates feel expendable and lucky to have a job. No raises. Your job is to make yourself replaceable, doing so may keep you employed another year if you are lucky.
