Pros

They like to pay their employees bonuses. The people are very friendly and the corporate culture/environment is very easy going. They have several networking opportunities within the company including affinity networks and have several lunch and learns for professional or technical development. They are also heavily involved with the surrounding community.

Cons

BP Texas City Refinery has the reputation of being the deadliest refinery in the US. Work processes and lead management is not very stable.

Pros

Benefits are better than most companies - great matching, HSA, pensions, and bonuses. The culture was great too, middle management was a pleasure to work with.

Cons

It’s easy to get stuck in one position if you’re a high performer. Seemed like if you’re good at your job you get stuck there while others get a lot more mobility. The options I had to move were all within the same sphere, great if you like what you are currently doing but not so much otherwise. Also, expect a re-org every 2-3yrs, change can be good but it was often disruptive during my tenure.
