Pros

Above average pay very good benefits including pension plan and 7% matching on your 401k Positive work environment Good opportunities for development Global company with travel opportunities Stock plans for senior level managers

Cons

Management wants people with 20+ years of experience, so opportunities for younger people are limited Heavy workload with little resources Poor work life balance Very political Difficult to move across functions, once you start in a function that is where you will develop your career. People are promoted on experience, not performance. BP believes that you should move one level down to come work for BP because their people are so talented. The truth is that their people are the same as any other company, but they are likely to sell you into a lower position when you join the company.

Great environment with the brightest managers in the industry. Lots of challenges. Lots of flexibility to grow jobs around individual talent. Many international opportunities

Cons

Long hours, as an example, the company offers flex Fridays at some locations, but those who aspire to move upward frequently miss those days off
