Would bp go and rescind job offers for newly hired graduates?

Only those who want to experience severe depression put themselves in the middle of BP. Make sure you have plenty of money to pay for neurological medical treatment. After you exit the company, you will realize that BP is about as mediocre as Wikipedia can define it.
Perhaps Wikipedia should take a snapshot of the people including its less than capable management and attached that to the definition. A picture "..." better than 100 words - only to explain this to a BP employee that can't get it.
Let me clarify—yes, they will rescind job offers that have been offered, but not yet taken. But they will not rescind a job offer that has already been accepted by the graduate (even if the graduate has not started yet).
But yes...they will rescind job offers where the graduate was just waiting out for another offer and had not accepted yet.
No, they will not. That would be "future recruitment" s–c-de for BP.
If you are not convinced, here is another reason to not work for BP. No matter which side you take, the company has put many people in this situation and your name ends up tarnished. Run and run fast! Pretend it did not happen. Better not bragged you even got a job offer.

When I started 20 years ago the oil field was awesome. Now I would not recommend for anyone to go into oil and gas. It’s a tuff business. The world is changing. This place brings stress you have never seen before with multiple never ending lay-offs. Not to mention we don’t pay as well as we used to in relation to other industries.
Rule of thumb with any offer in any industry. Don't count on anything until your butt is in the chair and that first check hits your bank account. The only guarantee is the check you just received you may not get another one. You are a widget that can be easily procured and discarded. There is zero loyalty so any agreement means nothing even before the ink is dry. When deck chairs are rearranged and you get a new manager all bets are off and any deal is null and void
I wouldn’t work for BP as a new graduate. Oil and gas a dying industry and too cyclic.
Buyer beware. bp’s eulogy can read “There was always a narrative from bp about the economy doing them something wrong.” Typical passive / aggressive drama by a company that can never delivered long term value and year after year @ the anniversaries of its multiple catastrophes a somber note is sent to all as a badge of corporate citizenship - xoxo.
- once offer is done it would not be rescinded (at least in the uk). However at the end of the program it will be quite hard to get an offer.
I would advise you steer away from the company; this is a dying business and you'll experience never ending round of layoffs (few colleagues mentioned 13 rounds in 20 years for downstream b.u.) I went trough 3 rounds in 5 years.. move on to another industry now that you can..
most jobs can be done by anyone, as a result if you are paid a lower rate, the answer stares at anyone
The leadership here always looking for new talent to break in and work their staffs. Tired of dipping their pens in the same ol fonts of company ink. They release on em and in em, not release them. To progress, innovation, boldness, kneepads, safety, windows, walls
It's always a case by cases basis, traditionally they have been good at keeping good with offers. However, the management mindset has changed. First and foremost which group and location would this be with? That would be the most important factor. One set example is the incoming internships, they have cut most of them short by starting them late (cutting them from 2 months to 4 months). The way things are going they look like they have no issue setting precedence. Not to make you more concerned but its always good to be on your feet. It is a completely fair game when they bring you on board and they will ensure you get a fair package regardless of when you came on board. I would reach out to the resourcing advisor and get some insight into where the offer sits. Best of luck!
I would say no. They are very sensitive to how they are perceived by outside entities...and would want to protect their "brand" especially with young folks and universities. Once you are hired, all bets are off. That is my perception anyway. Good luck - you must be a good candidate for the company to make an offer in this environment.
Atleast in BPX graduates within 3 years from date of hire will be protected. I think that may be the same with the mothership but not sure.
They’ve done it before so I don’t see why not
