Pros – good benefits and work/life balance

Cons – the quicker you finish your project, the sooner you will be replaced by foreign contractors and you will be removed from your team or even from the company.

BT seems to me not a place where engineers are treated as family members but tools. avoid this company if you have other choices

Advice to Senior Management – treat engineers like human beings

Current Employee – been working at BT

Pros – Great place to work, IF you're in the right department...under the right management...and not looking for career growth.

Cons – Horrible place to work if you are in the wrong department...no matter what management you fall under. I saw BT let most of it's talented employees walk out the door just so bonuses and annual numbers could be met.

Advice to Senior Management – Get it together. Be more selective of senior management candidates. Numbers are important but they don't run a business, the employee's do.
