Pros

- Those on the ground who do the heavy lifting are great

Cons

It's a company that does not actively care about its employees, and by this, I mean actions speak louder than words. BT is all words. There's a clear divide between seniority and status talks LOUDLY. There's a substantial lack of compassion that comes from senior leadership at BT. They will not listen to what the majority of employees want, they do not like being challenged - despite what they might say. There's a stubborn hill they're climbing up and will no doubt die on it. It's not a progressive company at all, headed by people who instil archaic ways of working and an undemocratic hierarchy. Challenging upwards is non-existent because the environment is toxic. You're not expected to argue back with their decisions, and if they don't like something - you'll definitely know about it. It's a company where respect and general humility in communication is non-existent. Culture is non-existent. Forcing people to come into the office is not a way to create culture, if anything, it will foster bitterness. BT is an environment where you'll flourish if you're an a** hole.

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.
