Pros

Some great people to work with and a handful of very good managers. Mairaed Meyer is fantastic. The Great Place to Work Survey has highlighted how bad BT is and they are trying to do something about it.

Cons

The managers are generally speaking useless and haven't much of a clue, definitely not to be trusted. They fail to recognise their good employees and there is a lot of dead wood. The work is hand picked and many engineers can't do any difficult work. The promotions are given to the best talkers from one religion and not on merit or capability. The rumours in BT are awful and in NI there is too much discrimination.

Pros

work life balance is good but again it depends on your project. Some projects are hell..so before joining BT, confirm this from anyone who is actually working in that project. Good gang of table tennis players

Cons

There are many to mention:- 1. Initially you will find it smooth. problem will start when u will get your fist rating. Even for getting normal rating(AS) you need to struggle and management is too much into cost cutting. So they will always give you any bloody reason for average rating and that would affect your financial growth. 2 Hike system is very poor. last year most people got hike in 1 digit 3. Most of the time you will be involved working with vendors(TCS , TechM) and there is huge confusion what to do and what not. Process is not very much clear to anybody.

A company run by bullies

Pros

Tremendous attitude and desire shown to deliver the 2012 Olympics. Huge excitement (and nervousness) for BT Sport.

Cons

The attitude of the executive teams .. tough and demanding high performance is perfectly fine, but unfortunately some go to far and are simply bullies, with no morals. The regulatory environment makes the BT group inefficient and a frustrating place to work Dreadful culture .. very few smiling faces
