Pros

Can keep incompetent employees forever, which is a pros to someone who wants to be just that. On the serious note, good cash allowances and perks if you have climbed up to a manager position.

Cons

the first pros above, lots of internal politics and people around you that keep asking the same work questions for years.

Pros

$2 Lunch Benefits Pay equivilent to industry Overall peers are friendly to each other

Cons

Office spaces (cubicles) are half wall glass, approximately 4'x4'. Managers are not up to par, mostly out of their comfort zone or expertise. Very top down management style, if you are not a manager you have trouble being heard.

Pros

1) The benefits, hands down, are among the top in the industry. -Great health insurance -Base salary right at industry average, additional bonus (bringing total pay up to the top quarter of the industry) -$2 Lunch -9/80's, or the option for half-day Friday 2) People are generally very friendly and helpful (especially if you are new). No one I have encountered seems to be "in it for themselves." 3) Career development is taken very seriously here; it's handled much better than I've seen at any other company I've worked for. If you work hard, you will be rewarded and promoted.

Cons

1) Roughly 60% of the Houston workforce has less than 1 year experience at BHP. Huge knowledge deficit, little training. 2) Things take a comically long time to get done, due to BHP's archaic, drawn-out processes with respect to ALL aspects of the business. That seems to be the culture here. 3) General perceptions of management are that they don't care, and that they don't understand processes themselves. How can they expect people to effectively do their jobs when they dispense poor advice? 4) Delegation of work can sometimes be an issue. Some people have too much; others have too little. This applies to every group.
