Pros

Ability to work virtually is a plus. I have saved a substantial amount of money on not having to commute daily. Additionally there is a good infrastructure in place to support telecommuting.

Cons

BT has taken on too many companies in the US in a short period of time, and has done a very poor job of integrating. They are very slow to normalize compensation, benefits, and organizational structure. The US management has no power to fix the issues because all decisions ultimately come from overseas. In some cases, people have waited 2 years to be integrated, without proper communication, nor support for career advancement. Additionally, contracting with clients is long and involved. As such clients have attrited due to procurement challenges.

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.
