Pros

Balancing work and life hours is fairly important. But, because BP is based in the UK, we sometimes work on US Holidays (i.e. Labor Day, Indepedence Day). Stress diversity (this can be both good and bad).

Cons

Non-competative salaries; slow-moving with everything; poor internal planning. Because many employees have been there for years and plan to stay until they retire, there's no incentive to go the extra mile. Many of the employees with 20+ years are on the average 50-50 years old. BP seriously needs new, fresh ideas from younger people.

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.
