Going backwards

Pros

All the pro's have gone, used to think it was a great company but can't wait to get out, the competition are way ahead now and deserve to win all new work. BT used to pride itself on being world leader, but you have to keep improving to stay on top and not rely on past victories.

Cons

Cut, cut, cut. For the last 6 months that's all we hear, reduce cost, use low cost country support. All this to support the C Series? All staff you talk to have had enough, leadership team changes weekly, senior managers / directors are jumping ship. Forum for employee feedback cancelled. Staff that are left have no forum for passing their views up the chain. The exec need to start listening or everyone will be out of a job. HR are a hindrance can't recruit / retain, rarely available or not interested, rely on external sources to manage what should be bread and butter.

Pros

International, good people (although most of the good ones are trying to get out) and exposure to big projects... That's about all.

Cons

People are not assets but commodities. Bullying is rife and Snr exec are far removed from reality.

A most disappointing career move.

Pros

I am afraid I cannot list any. I met a few people I am still in touch with, who have either left or are trying to leave.

Cons

No investment in people, no strategic view, totally metrics obsessed, zero work balance, many bullies (including HR), lack of transparency at management level, weak leadership (leaders are glorified operation and task managers, not proper leaders)
