BT Reviews

I have been working at BT full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Collaboration is very highly valued.

Cons – Internal systems complex. A lot of problems in the distribution new laptops and smart cards. Some people have had a new computer for 5 months and it is still in the box because the smart card did not work and UK ordering systems cannot locate some locations in the USA.

Pros – A great company to work.

Cons – Unfortunately, the company is located in the UK, thus, there is not much room for growth in the US.

I have been working at BT full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Wide range of opportunities and colleagues. Generally collaborative working styles across most organisational boundaries. Fairly easy for good people to take control of their own career objectives. The days of automatic promotion on seniority are long dead.

Cons – Sluggish corporate bureaucracy. Weak management in some areas: exhibits tendency to treat people as interchangeable line resource on a spreadsheet. Line management in some areas is merely administrative. Target-driven senior management creates more long-term cost in its drive to reduce short-term spend. Lack of vision or strategy at senior levels.

Advice to Senior Management – Put yourself about a bit. Stop using the hierarchy to avoid addressing complex issues. Stop treating people as a problem to be solved. Delete from your vocabulary the following phrases: "quick win" and "low-hanging fruit".

I worked at BT

Pros – I struggle to think of many, it was full of people riding off hiding at home not working and taking a huge salary. a complete lack of innovation and far too many middle managers. An easy ride for all employees

Cons – full of people riding off hiding at home not working and taking a huge salary. a complete lack of innovation and far too many middle managers. An easy ride for all employees

Advice to Senior Management – Out with the old, in with the new.... still sat on old public sector values, starves innovation and failures to deliver product or service right first time

I have 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.
