Nice place to have a relaxed time, but no point of a research lab in this organisation - Software Engineer BT Group Employee Review

Pros

Very smart and likable staff. Interesting ideas and a pretty short distance from conceiving an idea to being granted a budget to test it. Very low pressure environment, if you like that sort of thing.

Cons

For reasonably ambitious professionals, there will inevitably come a time when you realize that there is no point to your research. Almost no idea ever "graduates" from the lab to the market. So the biggest risk is that you will get existential problems after a while.

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.
