So much potential, yet dragged down by civil service, unionised lifers who don't have a clue how the real world works. - Solutions Architect BT Group Employee Review

Pros

Work / Life balance is good. Autonomy of work.

Cons

There is still a civil service mentality within the business. Many people are 'lifers' and have no concept of the commercial reality of the outside world as they are protected by the unions. It is too easy for people to get "lost" within the organisation, to work for a long time on internal projects that deliver nothing. They are then moved to another "lost" role and become someone elses problem. Just like the Civil Service / Job-For-Life mentality. They should be fired.
