Pros

- Really struggling here, to think over the past 2 years what I've actually enjoyed...

Cons

- The poorest management going, never had a 1 to 1. - No rotations even though promised 4 rotations within the scheme. - No opportunity to develop, the training is a joke (just use web videos is BT's way - self-taught) - Using the oldest technologies going that are so out of date that you spend 50% of the time finding a solution to something that's already been fixed but in a newer version. (Some of the software we are using is 15 years out of date). - Treats graduates like a number, what I mean by this is that BT will say 'oooh look at our great company hiring 350 graduates a year'. But these graduates do not have a rotation that is planned, they are just chucked into teams (most of the time with a weeks notice) and are set to fail. You are just a number to BT, they do not care about you, if 1% of grads stay on then somehow BT think they've succeeded. - Pay is below average, they is no reason to work for this company other than a safe(ish) job to get you to retirement. I say (ish) because this company has made so many people redundant in the last 2 years. - If you are an inspiring grad then DO NOT JOIN THIS COMPANY. Please do not waste your time like I did (and so many other grads), the salary may look enticing, but you can do so much better elsewhere in a company that actually cares. - It's also worth noting that this is not just any old rant from 1 grad, I can tell you now this is happening all over the company to about 80% of the grads I know.

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.
