Does BT pay for a gym membership?
Pros
Good salary Good hours Lots of knowledge shared between employees Good bonus Good office Able to lead with your own ideas (rarely told no) Everyone is mature, honest and focused at delivering great work. Cheap gym.
Cons
Constant restructuring Lack of development / courses even if you ask for them. (specifically for props) No inner city travel subsidies Internal recruitment isn't very clear. I. E. Merit vs bias.
Advice to Management
Provide development courses when employees ask for them. Make promotion paths clear. Have a good onboarding process for new employees. Run them through the myriad of front doors and red tape governance.

Does BT offer parental leave?
Pros
Some good benefits - parental leave, holiday allowance, pension and sometimes a decent bonus pay out Big company that promoted internal hiring so it was easy to make change in direction in your career and move between departments Used to be flexible working could work at home at least one day a week - may have changed now. Great office location by St Paul's
Cons
Can't speak for everywhere as every department was different - recruitment had a poor strategy and was understaffed. Team managed ridiculous amounts of vacancies and were forced to give a below average service. No investment in team socials or events. Were just given 20pounds a head extra at christmas. Leadership changed often
Advice to Management
Have a leader that rally's the team together to boost moral. So even if demand on the role is high people are happy to be there.
