Pros

Some pros of working at BP are Friendly co-workers, diversity, equity, and inclusion. The 9/80 schedule allowed a weekday off, which helped me accomplish some things.

Cons

bp has five core values, but in practice, it upholds two: safety and excellence. The others (respect, courage, and one team) are talked about but not necessarily displayed daily. Respect could be restated as "respect of persons" because only a select few because of the political environment inside of bp. Employees are constantly told to have courage and speak up, but it needs to be supported and responded to better. One team sounds lovely, but since the environment is political, it turns into every person for themselves so they can get recognized and promoted.

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.
