  • 9a. Would you recommend BT to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • I do love my job, its completely different to anything ive done before, I feel I have grown into the role and rely on other peoples advise less now. BT as a whole is a good employer.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BT?
  • Do it! I am glad I made the decision to apply for this job, the job is very interesting and I don't see myself ever wanting to change employers. All I could hope for is that if they were to be successful in getting a role with BT is that they end up with a supportive manager, given all the training and kit that you would expect to receive.
