Pros

If you like to try different jobs, there are many opportunities to work in different roles as long as you are ok with always moving laterally.

Cons

Very little career progression, especially if you are not based in the UK. Irrational revenue targets have resulted in poor bonuses the past few years.

Pros

Great work life balance, plenty of career opportunities within the group. Worked with some great, very knowledgable professionals. In general, BT is a very fair, transparent employer with excellent HR performance management tools. Truly global and you will work with people all over the world.

Cons

Very UK centric with a slow pace of innovation which is expected being a huge multinational. However, services, once launched and installed tend to be robust with high levels of service. Promotions tend to be politically motivated rather than who can best do a job so connections back to mother ship are important. BT does not do a good job of acquiring, and integrating acquisitions. As a result, experienced talent tends to depart or get moved into other priority areas of the business thus depriving the acquired business of resources.
