Pros

Interesting industry and a company with plenty of brain power

Cons

For those who come to BP right out of school, there is better opportunity and mentorship provided, but for those who come to BP as experienced hires, it is very difficult to develop a professional career. It is difficult to move up, it is difficult to receive training and mentorship, it is difficult to receive recognition for good work and years of relevant experience. It is also difficult to break into the fraternity. The social structure is very much like that of a fraternity house.

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.
