Vantaggi
What I loved most about my time at BTS was the people! Despite working remotely, I had interactions with my colleagues and team. I always felt fully engaged and integrated into the company's culture. BTS provided an environment where I could truly be myself and openly share my ideas without fear. I appreciated the trust and autonomy I had—I was never micromanaged. My line manager was supportive, encouraging me to take on new challenges and grow within my role. Working closely with HR within Europe, I gained insights into the people aspect of the business, and I can confidently say that BTS is home to many talented, smart, and dedicated employees. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at BTS.
Svantaggi
The salary is significantly below market standards, which makes it challenging to make ends meet at times. I however took this role knowing this, and took it for the role/people and not for the money. Advancing to a higher position is also quite difficult. I noticed that consultants often received priority over operational staff, depending on the company's financial status. Despite BTS's non-hierarchical status, there seems to be a shift in management's approach and hope it doesn't stir up the culture of BTS. Unfortunately, I, along with my colleagues in Stockholm, were made redundant due to the decision to consolidate all operational teams in the UK. This has left Stockholm with only consultants. While I believe the blend of operational and consulting roles can be beneficial as they work closely together. I sincerely hope for the best regarding BTS's future.
