      Approves of CEO

      I have been working at BP full-time for more than 5 years

      Pros

      The salary and benefits are very good. Nice campus in Sunbury. Flexible working in some departments but some managers still favour presenteeism.

      Cons

      IT&S Organisation fosters a face-that-fits promotion and opportunity culture. While senior leaders express concern at the lack of women in leadership roles, there has been little progress in remedying the issue. Alpha male mentality throughout the recent transformation of the organisation. Again, managers talk a lot about embracing diversity but there is underlying misogyny in their attitudes.

      Advice to Management

      Accept that there is a problem with the current senior leadership in IT&S. Stop appointing favourites and pretending it has been a fair process.

      Pros

      Excellent benefits (pension, share, flex time in upstream)

      Cons

      BP values are not really upheld by mid level management despite the senior leaders clearly exhibiting them

      Advice to Management

      Do far more skip meetings and skip several layers....on 1 to 1 basis, not groups.

      Pros

      Annual employee survey taken seriously by Senior management.

      Cons

      Middle management very cliquey. Subtle but insidious racism leaves bad taste.

      Advice to Management

      Give managers training on inherent bias - don't assume all racism is the "in your face" type we hear of at football games.

      Cons

      - Some questioning around commerciality in stores, and the freedom for stores to change/tweak plans. - Shift patterns due to 24/7 can be hard sometimes (6am-14pm / 14pm-22pm / 22pm-6am varied)

      Advice to Management

      - Keep up the good work.
