Pros

The compensation was good in the beginning. And they gave you q great deal of latitude in completing assigned task/s.

Cons

The compensation was good in the beginning and then they reclassified the position and cut the compensation by 40%. Better to have an ironclad contract if you work for them.

Pros

Good support for employees, reasonable pay and benefits, no expectation to work weekends. Provides quite a bit of variety for staff

Cons

The company changes direction every 1-2years and focus more on short-term gains than long-term value creation, also there is tolerance for systemic underperformance in some sections

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.
