Vantaggi
It's a large company so the opportunies appear to be there, but do not be fooled by this because once they have targetted you, no amount of prayers or medicines will stop you from falling ill.
Svantaggi
Bullying and harassment in the company is rife. I have personally experienced it to the extent that I became a nervous wreck, and so has many of my colleagues. The company is too big for a senior influencer in the organisation to take personal ownership of issues and therefore a 'pass the buck' culture prevails when there are issues such as grievance, disciplinary and attendance procedures. I agree with the other reviewr I read here about the company being worse than what it used to be. Right now is a not a very nice place to work. Performance management is being used undercover to select individuals for managed exits, rather than helping them to achieve their best. This has resulted in genuinely talented people leaving the company for fear of being targetted. The company has been criticsing employees for the tiniest of problems, eg. 'you didn't say anything' or 'you wrote a long email'. Empowerment is not there for the senior managers - the company is dancing to the tune of directors who have absolutely no clue what they are doing. They are only concerned about 'looking good for the city' and not really bothered about the workforce. They forget that it is the workforce which makes BT - not the few at the top.
