Pros

BT used to be a good company to work for but since the removal of the 25 year embargo on compulsory redundancies, BT is now using performance management as a cheap alternative to redundancy

Cons

Although BT is trying to keep it quiet. It has a headcount reduction target year-on-year anis hardwiring it into the bonuses of senior managers to make sure that the company gets below 60,000 employees by the end of 2012. It is now very much a toxic environment in which to work and senior managers know it's going on and are just turning their back on it. The way things are going in five years time there will be no one to carry out the work at present they cannot keep their old PDH network planning and delivery shocking service to both retail and wholesale clients.

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.
