Pros

Flexible and internal promotional opps Great home working opps Most people who work for BT are fantastic - its just a shame about the small population dragging us down

Cons

It's true that part of the work force is overpaid, underworked and thinks that BT owes them a living. They have no intention of going anywhere unless a large amount of money is paid - which it is on many occasions. Connect doesn't help - rather than working Managers to deal with poor performance they are more interesting in moaning and deliberately making managing poor performance difficult - don't they understand that this will just mean more job loses?

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.
