Pros

-High performers will be noticed; however there is a risk you'll become overloaded. -Able to gain high visibility within the organisation. -Very flat hierarchy, management are approachable. -Is a great learning opportunity, a good place for problem solvers to thrive (although making any significant progress may be limited).

Cons

-No real focus on the customer. -Even the most basic IT working practices are decades behind the curve. -Stress levels and burnout is common. -Lack of experience in delivering services: BT Global Services consists of many staff who have spent their entire career within the company and are unaware/unwilling to adapt. -If customer facing, being the face of the services can at times be humiliating. -When it comes down to the crunch, most staff and management don't have a passion for delivering quality service.

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.
