RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at BP full-time
Pros
Great company culture, offers good number of flex days, compensation package is competitive, opportunity for a variety of work and exposure to different projects.
Cons
Recent economic downturn has resulted in world wide reductions in staff but local managers have done their best to not have that result in increased work load for remaining staff, instead focusing on high value work.
Advice to Management
From my experience, management has always done an excellent job of doing whats best for the company without compromising what is good for the employees.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at BP full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Great people, interesting work, opportunity for international postings, good access to training opportunities, pay and bonuses fair, other benefits quite good, many of the managers are top notch.
Cons
Decisions made elsewhere without understanding local situation, typical 'red tape' and process of an international company, expect extra hours when approaching deadlines adding more scope when you meet all agreed requirements, excessive levels of assurance of technical work.
Advice to Management
Bring back spot bonuses to recognize work that goes beyond 'normal' -these make employees feel more recognized than a bonus that you get part way through the following year. Allow offices to do more of their own assurance and make decisions based on what is locally understood - no need to re-create the wheel in order to convince someone elsewhere that a common practice in industry is 'common practice' because it works.

Doesn't RecommendI worked at BP full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Canadian offices had every other Friday off and very little was done to ensure that the day off was actually earned under the 9/80.
Cons
Bureaucratic, out of touch, middle management often from accounting background rather than having any technical understanding of the business. They're big, so goal orientation is fuzzy, distant, and generally incomprehensible. Perpetual layoffs even when the market is hot.
Advice to Management
Learn the business so you can recognize talent and the lack thereof. Finance students aren't always the best choice for leadership roles.
