Pros

International assignments, opportunities to learn if you stay around long enough, decent benefits, obtained advanced degree on company dime, refining locations (all being sold)

Cons

Would not recommend as a long-term future in the US, outside of Houston. Leadership has become a 'DILBERT-cartoon-caricature' of itseff”. They have hired or are breeding leaders that lack integrity to doing things the right way the first time or nor care to leave the office and learn about how the business runs. A company that formerly placed value on ability, concrete results, and integrity, BP has championed a revolutionary paper-for-brains-check-the-box leadership method coupled with fellow middle managers that lack ability to cognitively comprehend, prioritize, and integrate into existing policies or practices because they are scared and lack the vital experience. Many middle managers stymie continuous improvement by failing to disclose seriousness of events, fearing career implications. Where the Gulf of Mexico, Texas City, and other incidents should have simplified and focused business and operations objectives, the company handsomely rewards the retreads that led the company into that type of exposure in the first place.

Pros

stable company excellent work life balance genuine care for employees can be a very good place to learn, if you always seek it

Cons

your career path totally depend on your current manager, if you are good and step up for accountability, you'll go up, but if your manager is not a leader, you'll be burried, systems are there but your manager is the most important thing too many frequent changes in the company structure, without leaving enough time for a scheme to prove it self too much dependency on consultants, no trust in their own employees to deliver alone
