BP – “This is a warmer and fuzzier energy company and efficiency and common sense are non-existent.”

Pros

They are very understanding when employees need to take time to address personal issues.

Cons

The management seems to be working in a fantasy world no one else can find. They set unobtainable goals and if a goal is close to being reached, they change it to one that can't be reached. Morale is not doing well. This company is full of compulsive starters, but it's hard to find someone that will do the follow-up work.

Advice to Senior Management

Use common sense when brainstorming and setting targets. Invest more in standard maintenance on existing equipment and wells, rather than spending money on the latest technology that probably won't work. I have no problem with trying something new, but it would be better in moderation.
