Pros

Breadth of experience can be gained early in your career. Work with very smart people. Gender diversity is very much embraced

Cons

Upward mobility get more and more limited as you progress, unless you are willing to live in UK. This would mean going on UK employment terms which will be quite a lot less. Company becoming increasingly more British - they don’t like American workers. Strangely though they don’t have any problems taking the money generated in America. Go figure. If you are not white/ Caucasian - forget about it. You have almost zero chances of being senior in bp. Only a chosen few minorities are given the opportunity to progress. Mainly for the cosmetics. The vast vast majority of other minorities will languish. BP does not care about ethnic diversity- starting from the main BP board, to the CEO, and down to other executives.

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.
