Pros

Decent location, to be fair. Easy enough to get to on the train, plenty of pubs nearby for a pint after work, and the airport's just down the road if you're travelling. The office itself's nice enough, and you'll meet some genuinely good people along the way.

Cons

Honestly, it just felt like a bit of a game. If you were in management's good books, you were sorted. Promotions, opportunities, plenty of praise. If you weren't, you could smash your targets every month and still feel like you were one bad meeting away from being out the door. Everything was about culture, values, and all that, but it only seemed to apply if you agreed with the people at the top. If your views didn't quite line up, you got the feeling it was probably best to keep your head down. There was always loads of talk about strategy and vision, loads of polished presentations, but not nearly enough focus on actually fixing the problems everyone could see. It often felt like selling the story mattered more than delivering the result. Don't get me wrong, there are some brilliant people there, and I learned a lot. It just wasn't an environment where I felt I could be myself or build a long-term career. That's only my experience, of course, but if someone asked whether I'd go back, it'd be a polite "No thanks."

Pros

Where to begin? The team I work with day in and day out is one of the absolute best! We are serious enough to GSD but know when to take a step back to breathe or laugh. Leadership is solid at the top; from Janine Seebeck as CEO throughout the ELT. Change. It is constant, which I need to feel motivated. And all the other people I encounter on a daily basis across all of our business units. To be able to partner, collaborate and learn along side so many different people in various roles is a key component to why I stay.

Cons

BT can be a hard place to work; we're fast paced and constantly morphing. If working hard isn't something you want to do, then this wouldn't be the place you'd thrive.

Thank you for the review. I agree that our leadership is great, but what really makes this place special is our people. They are talented, supportive, driven, and friendly. Our CEO says, we take our jobs and our commitments seriously but ourselves less so, which creates a unique environment which to work hard but also enjoy yourself. Great callout on the skip levels. It is a great way to dive deeper into the organization. Appreciate your being part of the team.

Pros

BeyondTrust provided meaningful opportunities to work in a fast-growing cybersecurity company, take on significant responsibility, and build experience during a period of rapid expansion. There are talented employees throughout the organization, and the company’s growth can create opportunities for people who have strong internal sponsorship.

Cons

The culture can be highly political and relationship-driven. Advancement often appears to depend more on visibility, internal alliances, and proximity to senior leadership than on performance, experience, or subject-matter expertise. There is a significant amount of behind-the-scenes positioning, gossip, and credit-taking. Employees may receive support publicly but encounter very different behavior privately. Trust between peers and leaders can therefore be difficult to establish. Some senior HR leaders appear more focused on managing upward and maintaining favor with the executive team than on advocating for their employees, challenging poor decisions, or providing candid leadership. Employees should not assume that strong performance or loyalty will result in support when difficult situations arise. The organization also has a tendency to place people into roles before they have the experience required to perform them effectively, sometimes seemingly as a cost-saving measure. This can leave inexperienced leaders making major decisions while more qualified employees are overlooked. The result is inconsistency, weak accountability, and leaders presenting confidence without having the operational knowledge to support it. I also observed behavior that could feel dismissive or chauvinistic, particularly when strong women challenged decisions or advocated directly for themselves. These behaviors were not always addressed consistently.
