      Good if you want to take things easy - leave if you are motivated in doing something good for your career

      Strategy specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      a. Work Life balance - 9 to 5 with ample vacations b. Some decent projects - very very rare

      Cons

      a. No growth - forget about salary hikes, promotions or doing anything substantial b. Poor management - More interested in recruiting rather than your growth c. Very poor projects - Big chunk of people completely against change, very difficult to get things done. End up just making ppt and no results coming out of them

      Performance management bullying within BT

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      BT used to be a good company to work for but since the removal of the 25 year embargo on compulsory redundancies, BT is now using performance management as a cheap alternative to redundancy

      Cons

      Although BT is trying to keep it quiet. It has a headcount reduction target year-on-year anis hardwiring it into the bonuses of senior managers to make sure that the company gets below 60,000 employees by the end of 2012. It is now very much a toxic environment in which to work and senior managers know it's going on and are just turning their back on it. The way things are going in five years time there will be no one to carry out the work at present they cannot keep their old PDH network planning and delivery shocking service to both retail and wholesale clients.

      cost cutting and constant change

      Senior project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Large company with opportunities to move around the company into different roles and specialisms. Good colleagues to work with and generally a very good team spirit.

      Cons

      The continuing focus on performance management is time consuming, distracting and demotivating. Every quarter we have to satisfy a quota of people to categorise as Development Needed. Great performance can be quickly negated by a minor mistake which makes people fearful of risk taking.
