Pros

Was a very good employer ~ 5-10 years ago, however over time and owing to pressure from the recession, and increased competition BT became much less of agood employer. Usually hired good to Very good technical staff.

Cons

Disorganised, constant never ending change and re-structuring. Constant conflict between Prjoect Managers who were trying to get the job done and People Mangers who were trying to ustilise people more efficiently. Continual cost cutting, and reduced budgets. People felt under valued, and often became ill/very ill owing to work pressures.

Pros

Flexible working that allows you to have a good work/life balance, a varied amoutn of career options that really put the choices in your hands. Great people in the company and a strong culture of helping each other

Cons

Geographically spread all over the country, don't get an opportunity to meet the team in some roles. Delay in promotions due to processes left over from the Post Office days
