Pros

Opportunities to expand your career are definitely out there. BP is too large for me to speak for all locations, but where I work is full of skilled, congenial, cultured people. There is a sense of pride which helps drive people to perform well, and also a healthy measure of focus on safety, including a goal of not harming the environment.

Cons

The corporation is positively massive. There is a mountain of red tape and levels of management, and sometimes ineffective or outdated policies. In recent times there have been a multitude of reorganizations, which can make the complexity (and thus frustration) absolutely overwhelming sometimes. People respond differently to challenges, but I have had many a day fighting against lack of motivation due to the inefficiency in some areas, particularly Information Technology management.

Pros

It is a large company with good working environment. I am working here since last 2 years and i am very satisfied with what they offered me in these years. You can work with your own way, you dont necessary have to follow the way of your supervisor. Working here helps a lot to improve your personality. I enjoyed a lot and am enjoying what BP offered to me and my family. I am working as corrosion engineer. i really like my job.

Cons

You would stuck in this company for your whole life, as they offer best than any one else could. No other disadvantage.

Pros

It's big! It is a massive business, there are many different places to go, and the opportunities are very diverse. If you can stay there a long time, the pension is excellent..

Cons

Poor rewards for performance, huge pressure to cut costs is removing promotion prospects, and lower-than-average pay compared to industry peers.
