Stay away from Junior/Apprenticeship Project Management Roles at BT
Pros
- some lovely supportive people in the business.
Cons
The career progression outlined during the interview process has not materialised in practice. Opportunities to advance into higher roles are extremely limited — only three positions are available each year from a pool of more than 200 employees. The structure referred to as the “Hub” operates largely as a resource pool, where employees are allocated to fill gaps as needed. In reality, this often results in undertaking predominantly non–project management tasks for the majority of the role, they have no desire to progress your career. When concerns about progression or role alignment are raised with management, the response is typically that it is due to “business needs.” As a result, many employees join with the intention of gaining experience and then leaving at the earliest opportunity.
