Hi guys,
Anyone working in BP shared service.I want to know any benefit regarding salary and working environment.
Thank you

u got any offer ?

my friend working there, he said EPF 16% from employer

basically 16% epf, 18days holiday,blackberry,external harddrive & laptop.
salary depends on your job grade.
working envi - no clock in & out, nice view (level 19-26), easy access (near kl sentral)

I did have some chats with people there and headhunters looking for people. The salary seems attractive (6-figure annual salary for management positions) and the opportunities for growth is there since this is their offshoring strategy. 18-day holiday was a lot lower than what I was getting from the other energy company I worked at though. Haven't heard back from the headhunter though.

hhmmm, is it true that they only look for people with SAP experience ?

depends actually...but mostly yes because we are supporting global SAP for BP,unless you are in finance/HR..

so basically there's no way for another person without SAP experience to get in ?

i cant say yes or no coz its fully depends on the hiring manager & HR...as far as i know, anyone can learn SAP

EXACTLY ! but, hmmmmm the hiring manager dont get that part ?

usually the manager (your future boss) will interview you & will decide whether to hire you or not..assuming hiring manager have the control to hire you, HR just being there to manage the hiring process..meaning u have to tackle the manager,impressed him/her la..

so, how's BP pay range as compare with shell ?

between, in shell there's IT embedded in the business(means they work with engineers) as well as IT on the global organization(means do purely IT stuff), the current BP organization in KL, is it IT in the business or IT Global Org ?

im not sure bout the pay range - i was contractor with shell previously. but i think its about the same.
also BP is growing in MY, so they open up alots of opportunity.
from my understanding, BP planned moving to the east (same as shell). to hire more east people :
-high quality - dependable
-medium pay rate
BP also have 3rd party org,accenture,IBM & so on. and just so u know, BP oil are more then shell

you mean BP's oil reserve is more than shell ?

east is not necessarily Malaysia Maybe now, but once the system stabilize, time to handover to a more low cost effective country(not just IT but also engineering)...hehehe
the only company that dont do outsourcing is Exxon. They really prefer in-house support. ( as far as I know from my friends...)

yes that's true..they are planning to setup a big team here, probably to reduce IBM folks(contractors).

r u working there now ? what happen to their last year's oil spill in gulf of mexico ?

yep.currently working there...they are trying to make things right in mexico..it seems alot better now..

how about fresh grad pay?

shell is a good place to start for freshies, but as you go to become experience person, you will find that shell is losing the remuneration game. again im comparing globally, not just in Malaysia again this is for technical people ( geologists, petrophysics, reservoir engineers, rotating equipments....) and not commercial ones ( IT, Contracts & Procurement, HR...) because for commercials, i believe other MNC can match their pay as well...or even better.

hahaha...having more oil reserves or cash flow doesnt mean BP will dump it into malaysia as u need to know if malaysia is a key country for BP to growth or not....good example is Exxon, the world super major also didnt really keen to expend(in fact they are downsizing) in malaysia as well as they are happy with their existing Upstream business...i believe the reason why all major O&G still operate their shared centre here is because we are cheap and also because the MSC tax exemption is too good for them....now my friend, the trend is slowly shifting to India (more talents and cheap) for technical and also manila shared centres are catching up and fast...
