Pros

Great work life balance, plenty of career opportunities within the group. Worked with some great, very knowledgable professionals. In general, BT is a very fair, transparent employer with excellent HR performance management tools. Truly global and you will work with people all over the world.

Cons

Very UK centric with a slow pace of innovation which is expected being a huge multinational. However, services, once launched and installed tend to be robust with high levels of service. Promotions tend to be politically motivated rather than who can best do a job so connections back to mother ship are important. BT does not do a good job of acquiring, and integrating acquisitions. As a result, experienced talent tends to depart or get moved into other priority areas of the business thus depriving the acquired business of resources.

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.
