      Great starting out company, great retirement company, but don't stay there in your prime.

      Pros

      What you get from being underpaid is made up for in the learning opportunities for me, if you're looking for a good grounding in the oil industry, BP should be one of the better places to start a career.If you're looking for someplace to retire comfortably for work-life balance, BP is also good.

      Cons

      Low pay, lots of internal politics and management are all talk and no action, and they do not retain talent. To them, keeping their own ricebowl is priority, all talk and no action. They love to have "conversations" but do not like to do actual work

      Having to reapply for your job each year because management want to change something

      Pros

      The shares and bonus you get. Also the compressed working week they do but stopping in Jan as they are making cut backs but can still afford to sponser London 2012 which is going to cost them about £40M. The xmas parties were always good but sure we probably wont be getting one of these either this year.

      Cons

      Having to reapply for your job each year because management want to change something and then you end up with the same job anyway. Total waste of time. The air con in the office doesn't work. the food in the canteen is gross. My manager has no people skills at all.

      A great place to work but I'm not counting on it being around long enough to claim my final salary pension!

      Pros

      You are guaranteed to meet great people with great ideas and be exposed to some fantastic technical challenges. The salary package, though certainly not world beating, is satisfactory and the final pension scheme remains one of the best. BP has a rather informal feel, which makes the office environments pleasant and relaxed places to be.

      Cons

      BP are a big company which still acts like a small one. Frequent shifts in "strategy" to satisfy the analyst's short term demands have inevitable long term consequences and we continue to feel the pain of past mistakes on investment, access and staffing. Let all the BS 'wash over you' and you'll be fine .... expect to be buoyed by insightful and innovative corporate decision making or expect to see your share options go through the roof and you'll be disappointed. The big question is; will we survive in our current form?
