Everything is wrong there. It starts with the managers and it goes from the top to the bottom. Hard work and success is not appreciated. Everything takes months. Nobody feels responsible for anything. The good leave, the bad stay. I worked there for 1 year. They let me sit there for 3 months doing nothing even though I asked for work. When I came there there were 14 people who wanted to pass a Cisco certificate. I am the only one who has passed it in the whole year. After that I was given the second lowest score on the performance scale. If you are given this score three times, they will fire you. People who participate in volunteer activities get a high score. The score is dependant on how much you are liked by the management, how much you lick their assess and how many useless meeting you attend. It's full of politics and something what I didn't comprehend. When they ask for something, they want it to be done straight away. When you ask them for something, you don't get it. The managers tell you something at private and confidential meetings and then everybody knows about what was said at the meeting. They say something into your eyes but do something else (backstabbing). It's a very toxic environment where everybody seeks their interests. People don't greet you. Bosses pontificate you about something what they don't obey themselves. During my work period at BT, all their BT values were broken by bosses. They don't respect technical people, they lie to them and if you are a foreigner you are already in troubles even before you start working there. I learnt one skill at BT, to lie to survive there. Nobody wants to hear the truth there. If you tell them the truth, you are on the good way out. Never trust your managers.
