Portugal Telecom Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Portugal Telecom

Pros – Included in a very solid economic group. Competitive starting benefits package. Many departments where various types of skills are usefull.

Cons – Work hours required are not consistent with career progression. Career progression is increadibly slow and the benefits for someone working there for more than 3 years are definitly not competitive.

Advice to Senior Management – Work on a career path with clear and objective goals where employees know how to progress. Have a long term vision for the company that doesn't change every 2 years.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Portugal Telecom

Pros – "Steady Job" - If you want a job that allows you to live in a quiet place by the sea it may be a good choice
Some of the work is engaging and interesting, but only in hardware or software development.

Cons – Low Pay when compared to other similar companies
Small Town company, not multi-cultural and centered around the main office
Management promoted from within and not very open to new ideas
Work-Life balance is an issue in software development, installation and support - other areas are ok

Advice to Senior Management – Hire Managers from outside the company, it need's fresh ideas.
Fire people occasionally if they don't meet their goals.
Be more open to fresh ideas.
