Pros

opportnuity to work and visits places across the globe and to do jobs in different disciplines; also we take care of our own peolple when in need (like after Hurricane Rita and Ike); you can find a lifetime of work in Houston or London

Cons

reorganizations and org charts with lots of duel reporting (typically local and then to London) cause alot of lost productivity and frustration; networking is essential to suceeding at BP

Pros

Work Life Balance, they care about their employees, good not great compensation. Good 1st level leadership,. Overall good company, great company to start career and great company to finish career, not very good to spend your prime.

Cons

Horrible and worthless HR, extremely political and Bureaucratic, horrible upper level management, no direction or strategy. , emphasizes commercial roles instead of technology / engineering roles. You have a commercial person running an energy company that does not understand how oil and gas are produced. Wont pay their employees the market. Does not focus on technology, engineering, or innovation.

Pros

it is a company that moves very quickly. You can see the end of projects, instead of being held up in process

Cons

The fast pace of the company, can be very knee - jerk, leading to the current CEO's whims of change. Creates a very unstable place to work
