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...

Hi! How is the assessment like for the graduate trainee program? How many stages of interview are there? What is the salary like?

Besides that, the work hours is according to UK and US time. So let say if you get US time, it means that you go to work at night and leave in the morning?

Hope to hear from you.

Thanks!:)

Hi,

It's a new programme there that they're starting this August. I'm one of those who were interviewed as a pilot for the project... There are 3 stages that we had to go through but it could've changed in the mean time. There was an online assessment of questions ranging from a few topics (basic stuff such as English, Maths and problem solving and so on). After that would be the interview and after you pass that is the final interview... They want 20 people for the programme and so far, I haven't heard of anyone new joining the programme just yet (maybe the bulk will join in August).

Most of the overseas normal working hours are from 11am to 8pm. During month-end closing, it would vary based on the region/country. For UK-closing, its from 3pm to about 11pm (transport to and fro provided). For US, like you said, come in night and leave in the morning (I am not sure on this one as I have not had the chance to join the US team yet).

Personally, I like the working environment. The office layout (big tables and not cubicle type) and the people there are quite friendly.

Tips for the interview, show that you are really keen to work in the company. The questions are not that mind-blowing as you might think.

For the graduate trainee programme, any idea how they gonna place you into which team ie UK/US/Asia ? basically, how's the programme and the job roles?

sadly havent

how bout u... i will update...

i am so nervous... huhuhu

Hurm, I was interviewed and offered by BPSC by the end of last year. Unfortunately I had to turn them down. Salary is not discussed during the interview and HR offered me in accordance to their salary scale.

From what I can recall :
Annual Leave - 18 days
Medical Coverage - for me and family (cant recall the limit)
Maternity for wife - up to RM2,500/year
Bonus - once per year (average 2 months)
Environment - since my friend is already there, she mentioned that it is a good, knowledge sharing environment. Manager do manage and not a dog eat dog world.

Just got my offer from BP. My major concern is on the working environment. Since you are saying its good, I can't wait to start my job with BP.

What offer did you get? The eStar programme?

Hi there, anyone working in BP as graduate trainee in finance then convert into permanent position? I would like to know the salary range after u transfer into a permanent position. The salary as graduate trainee is very low.. Thanks.

Hi mi
Good day..
May i know you have started to work at BP?
ur working place is at Bangsar?

hi all

headhunter approach me for a job with BP
resume sent and saw update from BP.career.com
it has only been 1 weeks since I last got update from the headhunter
WTA...from this stage how long will it take for me to get the interview session

Good work environment there. I like the jeans for dreams on Wednesday where you get to wear jeans to work but you make a donation (any amount) to a charitable fund (they put a tabung in the pantry).

Big company memang will take long time 1. Lots of process. Be patient and good luck!

Hi all, I am thinking to apply for a finance job with BP Msia. I had audit backgrounds in big4 and prof certs in accounting. However, i don't have any exposure to SAP..kinda worry whether it's really necessary..

Can I know what's the salary scale for my level? and how's the increments & career opportunities in BP Malaysia? Thanks.

Hi, a headhunter called me today and offer an analyst (finance position) in BP.
May I know how is the benefit & salary scale for a senior/junior executive role?

Any good/bad comments to work in this company?

Hi..May I know how u get the headhunter to call you?.. I mean did you apply thru recruitment website? Thanks

nope.. i drop my resume into their company website

They are cutting down on shared service jobs, most of them are being outsourced to IBM I guess.


For operations wise, I think should be fine. Pay not that great though.
