Pros

BT people are in general good to work with and are now the only thing which are of any merit which remains. It is a great shame as BT was a great place to work only 5 or so years ago.

Cons

Huge bureacracy which is now getting stupid. Processes on processes, complexity on complexity. Senior management and HR are just worried about getting rid of people - 99% of the time that is ALL they focus on. BT has sailed very close to the wind in terms of moving people on under poor performance. The targets for this are artificial and it is very easy to find yourself in the GS (generally satisfactory) marking category - the wolves are then out to exit you at all costs. Yes, BT does have some wasters, but many of these people get away from the exit process - mainly because they run it !!!

Pros

Benefits are better than most US companies. You get twice or triple the numbers of days off per year.

Cons

Focus is more on originating company location for group events and emails. Due to time zone differences, it can be difficult to work with others without adjusting your schedule. It is difficult to get promoted outside originating country. Roles are few and far between in the US.
