Pros
Please note the below feedback is applicable only for the bp pune-Innovation and Engineering(I&E) division and not relevant for bp london and bp houston offices 1.Good pay master 2. You can take lengthy breaks and go on a 2 weeks vacation to get refreshed which is good for your mental health considering the covid times we are living in. 3. Few of the candidates who are hired are really good at technical skills and are open source contributors. you will get an opportunity to meet technically sound people 4.Good for individual contributors roles. All the roles are individual contributor roles, no matter what the job description says. I was working as Azure architect in my previous organizations and when i joined bp pune, i came to realized that it is an individual contributor role and i am suppose to give daily status to the scrum master who is from the vendor side. If you have worked as a program manager, Azure solution architect, delivery manager in your previous roles, you might feel that you are going atleast 7 years back in time when you used to work as a senior developer. A feature would be assigned to you and you need to delivery it by working with the vendor teams.
Cons
1. Not much power has been given to the bp Pune associates to drive the things. All the strategic decisions are taken by the BP london and BP houston office associates after having discussion with vendor associates. 2. Highly vendor driven organization. Permanent employees working out of bp pune office does not have much power or say in the ways of working. even though the vendor and india bp employees are based in the same country which is India, vendor team works in 2 PM to 11 PM shift and bp badge employees are suppose to go to office twice or thrice a week and bp badge employee starts the work at 9 am and had to take calls in the evenings as the the vendor comes in shift(2pm to 11pm) so it becomes really difficult for the bp permanent employee based out of pune to get time for oneself. I have given this feedback to the management but nothing changed 3. If you are someone who wants to lead the team of technical people, you may not get an opportunity working out of bp india. you must join bp london or bp houston in case you wish to be part of strategic decision making. 4. Getting promoted to next grade is a lengthy process 5. You won't gain business domain knowledge if you are part of platform teams be it AWS or Azure data platform
