Pros

Fantastic opportunities - you are limited only by your own talent, ambition, creativity and drive. Resource - BT has access to world-class expertise in every imaginable technical and commercial discipline. If you can harness this, you can achieve incredible feats.

Cons

Relatively political environment - it employs more people than many countries have in their adult population; and those countries have coups, civil wars, political and religious factions and wildly diverse views of what is 'fact'; BT has all these same problems, which are a function of large groups of people and nothing to do with specific employers. Slow decision-making - an excessive interest in securing consensus, combined with risk aversion, can make forward momentum very hard to achieve. That said, with enough will-power, absolutely anything can be achieved.

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.
