Pros

Full-Time homeworking a plus; Great vacation package based on European culture; Large portfolio of services allows for great exposure to technology;

Cons

Poor compensation; Compensation has been reduced by restructuring rewards/bonus plan over the past few years; no tuition reimbursement; management cares very little if at all for employees; benefits have deteriorated over past 10 years (higher cost, less coverage), "More with Less" philosophy has entire GS staff overloaded which has been leading to reduced quality of services provided, more delayed deliveries all while training our replacements in Hungary and other low-cost regions; Zero job security as layoffs are the way BT GS has met street expectations a few times over the past couple of years.

Pros

Great people who do the work. Strong technical resources and capabilities

Cons

Run by group CFO. sets unrealistic growth targets and then offshores as many resources as possible to make financial targets. Workers disenfranchised, bonuses not paid in 2015, probably won't pay in 2016. Europeans do not understand US market, local leadership is scary bad.

Pros

- nice office - some nice people - the biggest and best financial clients - job for life if you know how to play their game.

Cons

- you can not feel proud about the end service you are helping to provide, very often - constant re-orgs that don't address the things that impact bottom line or customer experience - client facing people are leaving at a very rapid pace and they are being replaced by a less experienced full time employee or an outsourced person. - Poor systems which are supported out of India - Bad processes and procedures - there is no real team feel created by senior management and little appreciation expressed for those who work hard to over compensate for the lack of internal support - not enough respect for the customer..."easier to keep a client then get a new one" is not something they seem to value. - there is a real lack of cooperation between department heads. - Finger pointing culture due to poor leadership by men who have spent the bulk of their career at BT. - Too much outsourcing which in the end costs them more due to re-works, loss of business and opportunity cost - A lack of passion to succeed - BTGS management changes directions very often and deliver a confusing message to employees - BTGS does not invest in it's people - BTGS does not have as an impressive product line when you compare quality and price - BTGS tends to make the same mistakes frequently and they don't seem to realize or care - Poor morale among staff - BTGS' technology lacks innovation and is behind the curve
