Business outlook
Pros
BP, like many oil majors, has a very generous compensation and benefits package. Salaries are very high compared to service companies, with bonuses when commodity prices are high. Office physical environment is very nice (Fortune 100), and this large company has a large employee base from which one can learn from.
Cons
Politics and lack of career opportunities given current and past legal problems. Internally, the company is fractious and management undisciplined. Specifically, many company rules are followed/voided by simple fiat. Lack of management accountability has led to overemphasis on short-term gains above all else.
