Vantaggi
Pretty good work-life balance, good benefits, good severance package (for now). Lots of smart and talented people, at least where I worked. Good diversity and inclusion.
Svantaggi
Recent layoffs have gutted the company, leaving it understaffed and lacking experience. The transformation to an Agile work environment means staff are deployed on projects and seem to rush to get work done during the sprints. This might lead to the 80% solution becoming the 50% solution. New CEO bernard looney has re-imagined bp by transforming it into a utility company and shrinking oil and gas production 40% by 2030, and even less by 2050. The end result is that if you're a geoscientist and want a career in oil & gas, you should see working at bp as a dead-end and start looking for a new employer. In exploration, every new discovery is another step closer to making your job redundant. Upward mobility was challenging before the reorganization, so in order to advance people were leaving exploration to go to other companies. Now, it will be even harder. The latest layoffs were done in an opaque manner.
